Blend details & guidance
Chicken biryani, and a very good pulao if you must stir
Biryani masala fails when it is just garam masala with more of everything. The two components that actually make it are shahi jeera and mace, and both are expensive enough that most blends skimp. Neither is skimped here.

Finer and sweeter than common cumin. This is the smell you associate with biryani.
Kishtwar, Jammu & Kashmir
- 02JavitriMace · Myristica fragrans
The lacy aril around nutmeg. Floral, and the reason the rice smells of more than spice.
Kollam, Kerala
- 03GulabDried rose petal · Rosa damascena
A small fraction, ground last. Traditional and easy to overdo.
Pushkar, Rajasthan

Recommended culinary application

- 02Fry the onions further than you think is right. That base is half the dish.
- 03Layer and seal. Stirring a biryani makes a pulao.

Yes. The blend contains no animal-derived ingredient and the box carries the green vegetarian mark. It was formulated against chicken because that is the harder balance.
The marinade. It needs fat and time to open up, and the rice takes on its aroma from the layers as the pot steams.
No. Its side panel carries the same three claims as every Koral box: 100% pure, no preservatives and no added colours.
It comes in a 100 g box. If you need a larger quantity for a restaurant, distributor or catering kitchen, tell us how much and we will come back to you. Ask about quantities
Keep the box closed, away from heat, damp and direct sunlight, and always use a dry spoon. Ground spice gives up its aroma over time, so it is at its best in the weeks after opening. The best-before date is printed on every box.
