MDH Pulao Masala is a spice blend used throughout India and the rest of the Indian Subcontinent as a flavorant while preparing pulao (a rice preparation). This special blend of spice is used in a small quantity at the end of cooking or fried in the beginning of cooking to add a subtle flavor to the cooked rice dish. Please note, pulao masala must be added in small quantities, or else it will overpower the dish.Some common ingredients are black & white peppercorns, cloves, black cumin (known as shahi jeera), cumin seeds, cinnamon; black & green cardamom and coriander seeds. It is used alone or with other seasonings. Pulav Masala that is added to biryani or pulav make it highly delicious.
