I&#8217;m a sucker for homemade spice mix. I always make my own simple Garam Masala- will be posting the recipe soon. The other day, when I made the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani-the-best-biryani-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyderabadi chicken biryani<\/a>, the recipe called for homemade biryani masala. I was damn sure that the biryani was going to rock because of the homemade biryani masala added to the chicken. It did rock; \u00a0the aroma, the flavor and the taste of the chicken masala and the biryani was greatly enhanced by the biryani masala.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, this masala or the spice mix has been my ultimate favourite and I add this while making biryani, chicken curries, stews, roast etc.<\/p>\n<p>Aromatic Whole spices are roasted and ground to a fine powder. After I ground the roasted spices, I was seen inhaling the amazing fragrance. Any dish will be taken to the next level by adding this homemade masala.<\/p>\n<p>I always make small batches to preserve the freshness and fragrance, this recipe will yield 3 tbsp. You can double or triple the recipe to make more.<\/p>\n<p>For chicken curries- I add 1 1\/2 tbsp of this masala to the chicken along with other ingredients and let it marinate.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani-the-best-biryani-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here is the recipe for the Hyderabadi chicken biryani made by adding this spice mix.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg 475w, http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani-133x200.jpg 133w\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg 475w, http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani-133x200.jpg 133w\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg 475w, http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani-133x200.jpg 133w\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25295\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_2357-e1544329451815.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_2357-e1544329451815.jpg 3168w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_2357-e1544329451815-133x200.jpg 133w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_2357-e1544329451815-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_2357-e1544329451815-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cooking Video<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Best Homemade Biryani Masala- How to make Easy Indian Spice mix\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F2You3lWmvw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hyderabadi-chicken-dum-biryani.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Homemade Indian Spice Mix- Homemade Biryani Masala<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT10M\">10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">3 tbsp<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander seeds- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fennel seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole black peppercorns- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves- 8<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamom- 15<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole Mace- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Star Anise- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cinnamon sticks, 1 inch slice- 10 slices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a pan over medium heat, add all the whole spices and saute for a few minutes till they turn aromatic.
