The Biriyani Masalas have many origins. Many say they are on the border of southern India with Persian influences. Others insist on that it was an Ottoman import during the 16th century. But everyone agrees, when done right, the Blend is a wonderful spice for rice and meat dishes. This unique blend is sweet to the nose and taste with a warm after taste of cardamon and fennel.
My favorite recipe that I use this blend with is my Indian Vegetable Rice. I saute my onions, garlic, tomatoes, peas, carrots, potatoes in olive oil and Auntie Arwen's Butterfly Dewa Biriyani Masala till tender, then throw in some Basmati rice, cover with water, cook till the rice is tender and serve with chicken or just as it is with a hard boiled egg and a little mint chutney or yogurt. Very nice!
