Biryani Masala is essentially a variation of Garam Masala. The difference between the two is in the proportion of spices. The recipe for Garam Masala itself changes from one household to another and it is really hard to come up with a standard recipe for any of the dry masala powders used across India. A great curry and a great curry flavouring, use as a rub, a marinade or add to coconut cream to make a really tasty dip.
