Biryani Powder - homemade masala

Recently, I was looking to cook Hyderabadi Biryani. Usually I use the readymade masalas. This time I wanted to prepare the masala powder at home. I came across so many blogs which had different methods. Didn't know which one to follow and suddenly I thought I could prepare it with my own ideas. I decided not to make something similar to the garam masala. Finally, came out with the below recipe and tried the powder in the biryani. It came out so well with a new flavour and my husband loved it so much. I'm sharing it with you all so that you can also try it.




All you need is:

Red chilli - 5
Ginger - 2 inch
Garlic - 10 to 12 cloves
Dried onion - 5 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 3 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander seeds - 3 tsp
Cardamom - 10
Black pepper - 2 tsp 
Cinnamon - 2 to 3 inch
Cloves - 7

How is it prepared?

Dry roast all the ingredients until it turns brown in a medium flame and grind it in a mixer grinder or a blender. Transfer it to an air tight container and store it for six months.
