BiriyaniMasala_HMake your own Biriyani spice blend for consistent and gluten free results. This is made by grinding together black cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, mace, peppercorns, dried fenugreek, dried pomegranate, coriander seeds, star anise and black cumin seeds. Chilli powder, Turmeric and sliced dried prunes are folded in. This is also a great spice blend for earthy meat dishes.

I started making my own Biriyani Masala blend when my sister-in-law, who LOVES Biriyani got sick. She has Celiac disease and some store bought brands do contain amounts of flour even if it’s not on the label. I wanted her to have her Biriyani and eat it too and I’ve never used store bought since!
