How to Use
Use Spiceworks Bombay Biryani Seasoning to prepare a rich, fragrant and flavourful Bombay-style biryani at home. This aromatic Indian biryani masala spice blend combines warming spices, dried plum, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and garlic to create the distinctive flavour of Bombay-inspired biryani. Perfect for chicken, beef, lamb, seafood and vegetable biryani, this versatile seasoning makes it easier to prepare delicious Indian-style rice dishes without measuring multiple individual spices.
For a classic Bombay chicken biryani, use 2–3 tablespoons of Spiceworks Bombay Biryani Seasoning for approximately 500g of chicken. For a deeper flavour, marinate the chicken with yoghurt, lemon juice and the biryani masala for about one hour. Cook the marinated chicken with onions and tomatoes until the spices release their aroma. Layer the mixture with partially cooked basmati rice, add a little yoghurt or stock, then cover and cook gently over low heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the rice is tender.
For homemade beef or lamb biryani, combine the seasoning with yoghurt and lemon juice to prepare an aromatic marinade. Cook the meat with onions, tomatoes and the Bombay biryani spice mix until tender, then layer with fragrant basmati rice. The combination of warming spices, dried plum and aromatic herbs adds depth and a distinctive savoury flavour to slow-cooked meat and rice dishes.
This versatile Bombay biryani masala for chicken, meat and vegetables is also suitable for preparing vegetable biryani and seafood biryani. For a vegetable version, combine the seasoning with potatoes, carrots, peas, cauliflower or other vegetables before layering with partially cooked basmati rice. For seafood biryani, use the seasoning with prawns or fish, adjusting the cooking time to ensure the seafood remains tender.
For the best results, use long-grain basmati rice and soak it in water for approximately 30 minutes before cooking. For additional fragrance, add a small amount of saffron or kewra water. To prepare traditional dum-style Bombay biryani, cover the cooking pot tightly and allow the ingredients to cook gently over low heat, helping the spices and rice develop a rich, aromatic flavour.
Whether preparing Bombay chicken biryani, lamb biryani, beef biryani, vegetable biryani or homemade Indian rice dishes, Spiceworks Bombay Biryani Seasoning makes it easy to enjoy warm, aromatic and flavourful Indian-inspired meals at home.
Serving suggestion: Use 2–3 tablespoons of seasoning for approximately 500g of chicken, meat, seafood or vegetables. Cook with onions and tomatoes, then layer with basmati rice. Add yoghurt or stock for extra flavour, cover and cook until tender. Serve hot with raita, fresh salad or chutney.
