Description
Bara masala — literally 'big spice' — is the whole-spice blend that makes biryani smell like biryani, and no amount of pre-ground garam masala powder will ever get you there.
Pardesi bara masala is a curated blend of whole spices — cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, cumin, and more — designed to be dropped directly into rice, curries, and slow-cooked dishes. This is the traditional method: whole spices releasing their oils slowly into simmering liquid, building layers of aroma that powder delivers all at once and loses just as fast.
Add a tablespoon to your biryani pot with the rice. Drop into the oil base of a nihari, korma, or yakhni pulao. Simmer in stock for a fragrant pilaf. Tie in cheesecloth and steep in soup or stew. Every application works because whole spices infuse over time — giving you depth, not just heat.
Halal certified. Produced in a GMP & ISO-certified facility. Pre-blended in the traditional ratio so you never have to measure twelve spices separately. The Pardesi dual-cap jar keeps the blend fresh and aromatic.
Add to cart — your biryani pot is waiting for its most important ingredient.

HALAL CERTIFIED, NON-GMO, VEGAN — Produced in a GMP & ISO-certified facility. Gluten-free. Every batch quality-checked for spice balance and freshness.
DUAL-CAP JAR — SCOOP THE BLEND — Wide opening lets you spoon out exactly what you need. Resealable design keeps the multi-spice blend aromatic and protected from moisture.
PRO TIP — DRY ROAST BEFORE SIMMERING — Toast the whole blend in a dry skillet for 60 seconds until fragrant, then add to your dish. This awakens the volatile oils in every spice simultaneously for deeper flavor.
