Aachi Biryani Masala is a ready ground spice blend from Chennai for cooking rice biryani in one pot. It brings together red chilli, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, cardamom, ginger, garlic, onion, nutmeg and star anise with salt, the warm whole-spice profile of a Tamil Nadu style biryani where meat or vegetables and rice cook together in the same masala. One tablespoon seasons a pot that the pack says serves six to eight. Find blends for pulao and dum biryani in our Biryani & Pulao Masala range.
How to use it

Add 350ml of water, 250g of basmati rice, salt to taste and a little more coriander. Pressure cook for 1 to 2 whistles, or cook on the hob until done.
