{"title":"Shan","description":"\u003cp\u003eShan is a Pakistani food company from Karachi, best known for recipe masala mixes: a box of ground spices blended for a single named dish, with the method printed on the back.

Beside them are ginger garlic paste, chutneys, mango, lime and mixed pickles, a complete haleem mix, and on the sweet side custard powder, jelly and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kheer-and-payasam-mix\"\u003ekheer mix\u003c\/a\u003e for sheer khurma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiryani mixes are the boxes most families keep in the cupboard, and the karahi mix is what goes into a weeknight chicken karahi. Nihari and haleem mixes are made for slow cooking at weekends and during Ramadan, while the kebab mixes cover seekh, chapli and shami. Shan blends are well seasoned and include salt, so follow the box for quantity and taste before adding more. For a milder result, use part of the packet and keep the rest sealed for next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpened boxes lose their aroma quickly, so fold the inner bag shut or tip the mix into a small jar.
