Biryani is incomplete without freshly made garam masala or high-quality readymade garam masala mixes, such as POORNA Super Garam Masala. Garam masala, as we all know, is an Indian spice blend usually comprising common spices like cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns, cloves, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, nutmeg, and mace. To create your own blend of garam masala at home, toast a combination of these whole spices and then grind them.

Garam masala is a variant of biryani masala that uses a larger variety of spices, aromatics, and herbs and, hence, is more complex. It is ideal for preparing and bringing out the flavors of multiple Indian cuisines, including chicken, mutton, or fish curry, chicken, mutton, or vegetable biryani, and even pulao or other rice dishes.

• Chat Masala

You can also use chat masala as an alternative to garam masala or biryani masala to add a different flavor to your dish. It is a fine blend of salty, spicy, funky, and sour flavors and can bring out the taste of anything it is sprinkled on.

Chat masala is a common Indian spice mix used as a quick masala mix to prepare a range of meals, including tikki, bhel puri, papri, bhalle, meat curries, and even rice. You can try our versatile and delicious POORNA Chat Masala, which can add a burst of flavor to your biryani and snacks.
