Shan Vegetable Biryani Mix is blended specifically for vegetable biryani -- a layered rice dish where mixed vegetables replace meat as the star. This vegetable biryani masala features the same aromatic foundation of cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf, and saffron-style colouring found in meat biryani mixes, tuned to complement the lighter flavour profile of vegetables rather than overpower them.

Each Shan packet contains a pre-measured vegetable biryani spice mix with printed cooking instructions. Shan is trusted in millions of homes worldwide for consistent flavour and quality, and their vegetable biryani mix makes this impressive dish accessible to cooks of all levels.

Use a mix of firm vegetables that hold their shape during cooking -- potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, peas, green beans, and capsicum are all excellent choices. Cook the vegetables with onions, tomatoes, and the spice mix, then layer with par-boiled basmati rice, fried onions, and saffron milk. Seal and steam on the lowest heat. Serve with cucumber raita, papadum, and a side of plain yoghurt.

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