Biryani Masala

Add Biryani Masala while building your onion and tomato masala or stir it into a yogurt marinade for meat, seafood, paneer, or vegetables before layering with rice. Beyond biryani, it's delicious in pulao, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, burgers, soups, and one-pot rice dishes whenever you want warm, aromatic flavor.

Biryani Masala is traditionally used to season biryani, bringing together warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and more into one balanced blend. It also works beautifully in pulao, curries, marinades, grilled proteins, and vegetable dishes.

Yes. Biryani masala, biryani seasoning mix, and biryani spice blend generally refer to the same type of spice blend. Every family and region has its own version, so the exact ingredients and proportions vary, but they're all designed to create the signature aroma and depth that make biryani so special.

Biryani masala powder is most commonly added while cooking the masala base or mixed into a yogurt marinade before the biryani is assembled. You can also sprinkle it into rice, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, lamb, or lentils for an easy way to add rich, fragrant flavor to everyday cooking.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.
