    Like I said before , I tried out shynee’s biryani recipe. Since I didn’t quite get the gm measurement, I just eyeballed it. Still it turned out very well. Anyways, how much is this 2gms and 1gm etc of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace and what if Nutmeg powder is used how much tsps will it be? :(

    I’ve corrected all the gm measurements Rg,Check it out

    hi Anitta :):)

    thanks 4 that recipe ..

    I have 2 questions !!

    can I use this masala 4 all other recipes that call 4 a masala powder ?? or it`s just 4 biriany ??

    what do u mean by Shahjeera & Mace ??

    I`m waiting 4 your reply ..

    thank u

    This is not a garam masala recipe..but it can be used in other curries also if you wish..But i use it only for biriyani..
    Mace is JathiPathri(Shell of nutmeg/Jaathikka)
    And Shajeera is Black Cumin/carway seeds..It is smaller than jeera and has a different aroma
