Here is the video for RAS Original Thalassery Biryani Masala Powder. The original recipe I used in the famous Thalassery Chicken Dum Biryani. I have also used this for my Pressure cooker Chicken Biryani Recipe.
Countless copies of this across the net. Good things will be copied.
Here is my original recipe. The recipe is for one kg to one and a half kg chicken -biryani. Simply double, to store more of the powder. It should be used within a month.
Ingredients:
3 Cloves
3 Green cardamom
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp shahi jeera
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp mace
2 small sticks of cinnamon
Heat the above spices in a dry pan, till you start to smell the toasted spices. Then add the following:
1 tsp kasakasa(white poppy seeds)
2 dried red chillies
1 petal of star anise
Stir briefly till everything heats through, then remove from heat.
Grind to a fine powder and allow to cool before storing in a small airtight bottle.
