ShanKarahi Seasoning Mix (50g) - Spice Packets for Karahi Masala (Pack of 6)

Absolutely love this. I prep the chicken and it marinates over night and we cook and make the gravy to next day.* should note for the ones who suffer from’ it’s to spicy ‘ this is slightly SPICY butter chicken there is a lot of Kashmiri chillies in it 😂. But it’s fine for me. Sprinkle with methi and it’s fantastic .Worth the price .

I usually make my own spice blends, but this one was perfect. I changed the recipe up a little. I deglazed the pan after sauteing the chicken with a little stock. I then added a can of tomato puree, and cooked it out for two mins, then added a cup of milk. Put the chicken back in and simmered for 15 mins. Turned off heat, and added a half cup of butter. No need to add cream, came out perfect. I also use chicken tenderloins chopped into 2 inch chunks. Key is also to marinate your chicken overnight in the spice mix, yoghurt and lemon juice.

The recipe provided on the package was easy to follow, and the mix made an incredibly delicious Chicken 65. I think this mix would also work well with just vegetables too. Will definitely order more once we finish the other two boxes that came in this order.

LOVE biryani but can't get spices right on my own, so I really enjoyed it. It is spicer than expected. Also, keep a look out for large pieces of spice that should be removed before serving.

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.

Taste nice!!

I love this! I use it sparingly so a box makes 3 meals for two people and the taste is still delicious. If you want to cook for a family, add more chicken but still taste before you add the entire package. You also can leave out the simple cream. I never have simple cream on hand. Actually, I didn’t even know what it was until I started using this seasoning package.

All of shan masala mixes have made my life a ton easier but, this one—it’s a game changer. The tip is to marinate the chicken overnight and use tomato puree instead of tomato sauce, you’ll have yourselves THE best butter chicken.
