Shan Mutton Biryani Mix is formulated specifically for mutton biryani -- arguably the most celebrated version of this iconic layered rice dish. This mutton biryani masala is built around the stronger, gamier flavour of mutton with spices that can stand up to it -- robust whole spices, fennel, mace, nutmeg, and a generous base of cumin and coriander that develop rich depth during the slow cooking process.

Shan delivers pre-measured mutton biryani spice mix blends backed by decades of expertise. Each packet includes complete cooking instructions for the meat curry and the rice layering process. Shan is one of the most recognised names in South Asian food, trusted for consistent, authentic results.

Use bone-in mutton pieces -- shoulder or leg -- for the best biryani. The bones add richness to the gravy and the meat stays moist during the long steaming process. Cook the mutton with yoghurt, onions, and the spice mix until nearly tender, then layer with par-boiled rice, fried onions, mint, and saffron milk. Seal tightly with dough or foil and cook on the lowest heat for 30-40 minutes. Let it rest before opening.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened packets keep their full potency until the printed expiry date. Shan Mutton Biryani Mix is available from Hills Harvest alongside other biryani masala options and Shan spices -- halal grocery delivery across The Hills Shire, Blacktown, Parramatta, and Hawkesbury.
