Few dishes spark as much delicious debate as biryani. Whether you swear by fragrant vegetable layers or rich, slow-cooked meat, the heart of every great biryani lies in its spice blend. And today, many home cooks are choosing Biryani Masala Paste over dry spices for deeper flavor and convenience. So how does the use of Veg biryani masala paste differ from traditional biryani masala powder? And what’s the best way to use each for veg and non-veg versions? Let’s break it down. Best Use of : Heat the oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the whole spices (bay leaf, clove & cardamom). Add 1-2 tablespoons of the Veg Biryani Masala Paste. Cook until fragrant and start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Add a mixture of vegetables (carrots, green beans, peas, potatoes & cauliflowers). Mix in the yogurt for creaminess. Layer on top of partially cooked basmati rice and steam (dum cook). Professional Tip: Vegetables absorb the flavours of spices differently; therefore, allow the masala paste to cook sufficiently to avoid a raw spice taste before adding your rice.  The result will be an aromatic, mildly spiced, beautifully layered veg biryani! Non-Vegetarian Biryani by Biryani Masala Paste Biryani Masala Paste is perfect for non-vegetarian biryanis (chicken/mutton) because it adds moisture and flavor. How to Use It: Marinate the meat (chicken/mutton) by using curd, lime juice/salt with a minimum of 2 Tbsp of Biryani Masala Paste for 30 mins (30 mins minimum for Mutton). Sauté the onions until they become golden brown (approx. 10-15 mins). Place the marinated meat in the pot with the sautéed onions and cook until the meat is tender (approx. 1-2 hrs for chicken; 2-3.5 hrs for mutton). Once the meat is tender, layer the meat with rice and cook (dum) until done. What Makes Paste Better: The ginger-garlic/oil in the paste penetrate into meat fibers, and then they can provide a greater depth of flavor from the inside; this is in contrast to using only ground up powder which will give a more uniform coating of the biryani masala and will produce a better overall texture/gravy of the finished dish. Different Ways to Use Biryani Masala Paste Veg biryani masala paste can be used in other ways besides making biryani: ✔ Pulao with biryani flavour ✔ Masala rice bowls ✔ Gravy (paneer/chicken) with spices ✔ Fried rice on the tawa ✔ Marinating grilled veggie/kebab Biryani masala paste is a quick way to add bold flavour! Spice Level Equation Make sure to start with a little bit of biryani masala paste, whether you are using the veg or non-veg versions. If there are too many spices used, add more salt/chilli separately to taste. By adding yoghurt, the spice level will be toned down. Mix the biryani masala paste with some biryani masala powder and/or spices to make it milder. Balance is what it is all about, particularly when cooking for others with different levels of flavour preferences! Final Verdict: Veg or Non-Veg? The decision to go veg or non-veg biryani is a personal choice, but the process is more important than the ingredients. A quality Biryani Masala Paste will elevate both veg and non-veg biryani by: ✔ Saving time ✔ Enhancing spice absorption ✔ Providing consistent taste ✔ Building an intense aroma For vegetable enthusiasts, Veg biryani masala paste will add depth without dominating the vegetables. For meat enthusiasts, paste will help to infuse strong flavors deep within the meat. In either case, the trick is to sauté the paste correctly and layer it accordingly. With expertly crafted spice blends from Priya Foods, achieving authentic, restaurant-style biryani at home becomes effortless and consistently delicious. FAQs 1. Is Biryani Masala Paste superior to biryani masala powder? Paste is superior in terms of depth of flavor and texture, but powder is convenient for light meals. 2. Can I use Veg biryani masala paste for non-veg biryani? Yes, but make sure the paste's spice strength and salt content are adjusted according to the meat's flavor. 3. How much Biryani Masala Paste do I need? Generally, 1-2 tablespoons of paste for 3-4 people, depending on individual spice tolerance.

Indians love pickles! Mango or mixed vegetable they're a part of everyday cooking, bringing zest to every nip and tuck of food! Pickles can be stored properly whether you've made them at home or bought them from one of many companies that sell online pickles so that you'll have fresh, safe, and very tasty pickles when it's time to have some. In this guide, we will provide you with practical tips about extending the life of your picked products and preserving their aroma and taste, so you don’t spoil the enjoyment of eating them by spoiling them. The Importance of Properly Storing Homemade Pickles Online Pickles are traditionally made with oil and/or salt combined with spices and sometimes fermented. When pickles are made using these natural preservatives, they are still subject to spoilage, off-flavours, and microbiological contamination due to contact with air/moisture/heat. Good storage practices will help extend the shelf life, preserve the flavour of your pickles, ensure food safety, and prevent your pickles from losing their crunch and texture. Let’s take a look at some of the best ways to store your pickles for the longest possible time. 1. Jars and Tools Must Be Clean and Completely Dry Before anything else. Make sure you are only using glass or ceramic jars that have been cleaned and completely dried for storing pickles. Do not use metal containers to store pickles because they may react with the spices and oils used to make your pickles. Always use only clean and completely dry spoons to scoop pickles from a jar or container as any moisture on the spoon will allow for spoilage to occur. It is amazing how much quicker a pickle will spoil due to the simple mistake of using a wet spoon! 2. Avoid Storing in Direct Sunlight or High Temperatures Direct sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity create increased levels of oxidation and fermentation within food products such as pickles. To prevent the development of these problems: Store jars in a cool, dry pantry Avoid placement near a stove, oven or direct sunlight  Maintain at room temperature Maintaining proper temperature can help produce and preserve mango or mixed vegetable pickles by maintaining the flavour quality, preventing them from becoming cloudy and/or bitter. 3. Place a layer of Oil Over Top Of Pickles Oil is critical to the preservation of pickles as follows: Always maintain a thin layer of oil above the pickle mixture. This oil layer prevents air and moisture from entering the pickle jar (or other container). If you notice the oil layer surrounding the pickles begins to diminish, top it with some clean new oil. This is even more important for hot and/or sour pickles, as they usually take a longer period of time to preserve. 4. Airtight Sealed Pickles Will Not Spoil You might buy your pickles from a pickles store online, like Priya Foods or you may be making your own pickles. Make sure to fully seal the jar after every use Do not leave the jar open for any length of time Use jars that have tight-fitting lids By keeping the jar sealed and air-tight, you are preventing air (oxygen) from entering the jar or your pickles, thus preserving the flavor and color. 5. Prevent Pickles from Being Exposed to Water or Moisture Water causes pickles to rot. Water creates mold on pickles, gives off bad odors, and spoil your pickles rapidly. Always: Prevent water from entering the jar Do Not Use Wet Utensils To Scoop Pickles Wipe the rim of the jar each time you scoop pickle out of the jar These small things can help keep your pickles fresher longer. Chill When Needed (Especially in The Summer)  In hot locations or during summertime, it could help to keep your pickles cold: Mango pickle (hence) or mixed vegetable pickle would develop much slower in the fridge. Homemade pickles that are low in oil will maintain their crunchy texture and brine longer in the fridge. If you are keeping your pickles as traditionally prepared (i.e., in oil and salt), refrigeration is by no means necessary unless temperatures become excessively hot.  Bonus Tip: Look For Verification on any online pickles purchase - After You Open The Pickle Items If you're purchasing homemade pickles online from any reputable source, such as Priya Foods, you should: Ensure that the lid is still sealed upon opening. Verify the "best before" date. Check the storage instructions printed on the label.

Is it possible to refrigerate online pickles? Yes, and especially in summertime, refrigeration of online pickles like mango pickle and mixed vegetable pickle can help extend their durability. 2. What happens when I use oil to store my homemade pickles online, and they become bad? If there is moisture or air in the jar or the utensils used to retrieve from the jar are dirty or wet, your pickles may go bad. 3.
