Laziza Bombay Biryani Masala, 130-Gram Boxes (Pack of 6)

I actually use this mix to make vegetable biryani and it works well for this purpose, with some slight adjustments to the recipe.I do have one caveat about the product, but it's about the recipe given, not the spice mix. I think the amount of ghee it is suggested you use (200 grams) is too much, and you can easily use 100 grams instead. Also, I think it's easier to mix the spices and yogurts first and cover the chicken (or vegetables) with the mix to marinate than to mix it in the pan while frying.To make vegan biryani you can substitute vegetables for chicken, coconut milk for yogurt, and safflower or peanut oil for ghee.Overall this spice mix makes the tastiest biryani I've had outside of a restaurant, and even rivals some of them. And the price makes this an incredible deal--there are 2 bags per package and there are 6 packages, so this makes 12 large batches for ~$13 with free shipping. I will definitely order more when I run out.

I find this spice mix absolutely delicious and fragrant. I put less than the recommended amount and add an extra pinch a few minutes before serving. It works every time!

Watch out for the dried fruit with the pits still in them. We had at least four pits in the first package we tried. There are also chopped up bay leaves that don't soften and are easy to choke on. It's extremely spicy. We like spicy Indian food but this needs a warning. It's not a subtle spice -- this burns. I will not be buying this product again.

Tastes like my mom's biryani. My caucasian husband is addicted to biryani now.I would recommend cutting down the oil and even the water on the recipe.

A different favor from what I tasted it’s ok but not that great.

Loved it.

Thanks

Too much salt 🧂 but taste good.
