Biryani Masala

List of biryani masala I tried.
  • Everest Shahi Biryani Masala
Origin: India
Usage: Complete biryani masala mix. No salt or flavouring. One of the best mix listed here. No Chili
Suggest 6 spoons per 2 cups uncooked rice
  • Sakthi Briyani Masala
 Origin: India (Tamil Nadu)
Usage: Complete biryani masala mix. Little salt, need add for more flavour. Very very spicy!
Somehow lack of fragrant spice therefore I will mix some other biryani masala like adabi/everest to make perfect mix.
Suggest 6 spoon per 2 cups of uncooked rice
  • Adabi Briyani Powder
 
 
Origin: Malaysia
Use: Complete biryani masala mix without salt or flavouring. Little or no chili (0% spicy).
Suggest 7 spoons per 2 cups of uncooked rice.
  • MDH Hyderabadi Biryani Masala

Origin: India
Use: Not a complete masala mix. Requires further mix of spices to complete it. No chili
Suggest 1-2 spoons per 2 cups of uncooked rice.

  •  Shan Bombay Biryani
 
Origin: Pakistan
Usage: Complete biryani masala mix. Heavily salted and flavoured. Moderately spicy
Like most pakistan biryani mix (National, Shan), the variance is very little and almost all are similar in the intensity of spice, chili powder or flavouring.Usually came with 1 or 2 plums inside.
Suggested 6 spoons per 2 cups of uncooked rice 

  •  Maggi Briyani mix
 
Origin: Malaysia
Usage: Heavily artificial flavouring. Very little spice
Seriously, skip this. It's more of a chicken seasoning powder than a biryani mix.
Probably the worse mix I've come across.
