Shan Pilau Biryani is a lighter, more delicate spice blend designed for pilau -- a style of spiced rice that is more subtly flavoured than a full biryani. This pilau rice masala features whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf infused into the rice during cooking, producing grains that are fragrant, slightly sweet, and beautifully golden without the heavy layering of a traditional biryani.

Each Shan packet contains a pre-measured pilau spice mix blend of whole and ground spices with cooking instructions. Shan is trusted in millions of kitchens worldwide for delivering authentic, consistent South Asian flavours.

Cook with basmati rice and your choice of chicken, mutton, or beef for a simple one-pot pilau. Fry the whole spices in oil or ghee until fragrant, add the meat and onions, then add the rice and cook together so the grains absorb the spiced stock. Pilau can also be made as a plain rice side dish without meat -- simply cook the rice with the spice blend, fried onions, and stock. Serve alongside any curry, kebab, or grilled meat.

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