Shan - Kofta Seasoning Mix (50g), Spice Packets for Meat Balls in Spicy Curry (Pack of 6)

I did pretty well with these spice mix packets. My son loves the biryani I made. The instructions are easy to follow. I will keep buying these

There are a LOT of ingredients I were not expecting to need, and I suppose I assume this was more of an "Instant" mix.. But I want to say that this seasoning was 100% worth it. The box had a recipe and let me tell you, it came out great! Very full flavor and totally worth the frustration of having to go buy all those other ingredients. My favorite way to eat this is with plantain fufu. So worth a try if you've never had it!

Great spice and has a great flavor.

Shan Biryani Masala Seasoning Mix brings bold, authentic flavor to every pot, turning a simple meal into a feast fit for royalty.

The butter chicken is delicious with the perfect amount of heat. I brought it to work for lunch and my coworkers couldn’t stop asking what smelled so good, they all thought I got take out.

So easy to make the foods I love without going out to spend on it. The quality was excellent and cut down on prep time.

I have always been a fan of restaurant korma, and it's taken years for me to figure out how to make it at home. This mixture was pivotal in me getting it right, finally. The instructions on the box, are helpful, but not what I would recommend you do for home cooking. First, it tells you to use the whole box, and I guarantee that is way too much for 2 or 3 people, the aromatics will be incredible, but it will be too spicy-hot to eat. You have to measure out all of your ingredients carefully, it's very easy to prepare way too much. I like Navratan shahi Korma: Green raisins, cashews, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, cut green beans, cilantro (topping), and paneer. You start out with fried onion as a base, but for one, two or three people, you don't have to use a whole onion, half, up to whole is ok, but half is milder. I don't use meat usually, but chicken cubes and chicken broth is ok to add (last.) I most often use one can of whole coconut milk, and about 1/3rd to 1/5th of the powder in this package. Add it slowly and carefully and taste as you go. I've also made it with whole milk plain yogurt, in that case you may want to add a tablespoon of sugar. Add all the vegetables that need time to cook first, let them simmer gently in the sauce to cook. Hope this helps! This spice mixture is perfectly balanced and delicious.

I eat a lot of Indian food. Usually I use the individual spices but decided to give this a try. Firstly it is incredibly salty. It surprised me and I hadn’t added any additional salt. It’s also very very spicy. On a scale of 1-10 I’d probably put it at a 7. I ended up adding a whole cup of cream total just to get it to a palatable point. It was also missing a certain flavor. I tweaked the recipe once I tasted it the way the box suggested and added the full cup of cream instead of the half, I added a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of Garam masala and a tablespoon of crushed fenugreek leaves. Once I tweaked it we were able to eat it for dinner. Don’t think I’ll buy it again but with the other 2 boxes I’ll probably only use a small amount of the seasoning as a marinade
