The word "masala" can refer to a few things, but it most commonly refers to a spice blend used in Indian cuisine. Masalas are typically made up of various dried spices, herbs, and other ingredients, such as chilies, ginger, garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek. The specific ingredients in a masala will vary depending on the region and the dish it is being used for.

FAQs
Q.1- How do you store Shan Masala?
It is best to keep your spices in dry, air-tight containers. Glass jars with fitted lids are ideal for cabinets and drawers.
Q.2- Is Shan biryani mix spicy?
This one has so much heat (mirch) that it overwhelms all the other spices. I recommend an excellent yogurt chutney on the side for those who love biryani but don't like too much chili heat.
