Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix - 50g
Description:
Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix is a premium spice blend designed to create a fragrant, aromatic pilau or biryani dish with ease. Biryani is one of the most beloved dishes in South Asian cuisine, known for its rich layers of basmati rice, tender meat, and aromatic spices. Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix combines traditional spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, with a perfect balance of cumin and coriander, to deliver a deliciously spiced rice dish. Whether you’re making a simple pilau or a full biryani, Shan’s spice mix guarantees the authentic flavours of a traditional home-cooked meal with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
Coriander, Cumin, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Red Chili Powder, Cloves, Black Pepper, Ginger Powder, Garam Masala, Salt, and Natural Spices.
Serving Suggestions:
-
Classic Chicken Biryani: Layer your cooked rice with marinated chicken, cooked in the Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix, and garnish with fried onions and fresh coriander. Serve with raita or a salad for a complete meal.
-
Vegetable Biryani: For a lighter, vegetarian option, use the spice mix with mixed vegetables, potatoes, and peas for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
-
Mutton or Beef Pilau: For a rich and hearty pilau, use the spice mix with tender mutton or beef, slow-cooked to perfection with the spices, then mix with basmati rice for a fragrant, savoury meal.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. For maximum freshness, keep the spice mix in an airtight container to preserve its natural flavours.
Preparation:
-
Prepare the Meat (if using):
- If making a meat-based biryani, marinate chicken, mutton, or beef in yogurt, garlic, ginger, and the Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for a deeper flavour).
-
Cook the Rice:
- Rinse basmati rice thoroughly and cook it in water with a few whole spices (like cinnamon and cardamom) for added fragrance. Cook until the rice is about 70-80% done and drain the excess water.
-
Cook the Meat:
- In a separate pan, sauté the marinated meat with onions, tomatoes, and some of the Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix. Cook the meat until tender and the flavours have developed.
-
Layer the Biryani:
- In a large pot, layer the partially cooked rice with the cooked meat, ensuring the rice covers the meat evenly. Garnish with fried onions, fresh coriander, and a squeeze of lemon. For a more traditional touch, you can add a bit of saffron or food colouring to the rice for a vibrant colour.
-
Steam the Biryani (Dum Cooking):
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or seal it with dough to trap the steam. Cook on a low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
-
Serve:
- Once done, fluff the biryani gently and serve with raita, chutney, or a side salad.
Shan Pilau Biryani Spice Mix makes it easy to prepare a traditional, aromatic biryani or pilau at home with the perfect blend of spices that will impress family and friends alike. Enjoy the fragrant rice, tender meat, and rich flavours in every bite!
