- Let the spices cool down, then add them to a grinder.
- Also add some turmeric powder and nutmeg powder. You can also use 1/2 piece of whole nutmeg instead.
- Add red chilli powder. I've used kashmiri red chili powder, which has a nice color but less spice. if using spicier powder, reduce quantity. You can also add whole dried red chillies instead.
- Grind all the spices in a fine powder.
- Biryani masala is ready. Let the masala cool completely and then transfer it into an airtight jar.
