Briyani Masala Powder

Category: Home made Powder
Preparation Time: 5 mins  
Cooking Time: 15-20 mins
Servings: yields around 1/2 cup

Home made powders are always special. Briyani made with home made masala are flavourful and tastes great. This recipe suits our taste so nowadays am using this. Make sure to roast the ingredients one by one in low flame or else certain spices will get burnt fast which affects the flavor of the podi. If we are having, kalpasi, we can add a couple of it. I usually add 1 to 1.5 tsp of this powder per 1 cup of Rice.
