Cloves

Cloves are aromatic herbs that add in the aroma to the biryani and makes you crave it more.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is also used in a number of dishes worldwide to add aroma and taste to dishes. In biryani it gives in the sweet and savory flavor, contributing to the exciting flavor of biryani.

Bay Leaf

Bay Leaf may taste a bit pungent and bitter on its own but when it is used in Biryani in combination with other spices it leaves a dazzling effect on the eater.

Mace

Mace has a very unique flavor its taste is known to be like that of nutmeg but that’s not completely true because it has much more flavor than just that. It is somewhat a blend of citrus, coriander, cinnamon, and a little complexity of raw sugar. It is a lighter spice hence in biryani where a blend of two aromatic and pungent flavors is being used, mace does the job to give a light floral touch of flavors and downtones the depth of spices.

Coriander seed

The coriander seeds have a lemony citrus flavor and are also known to be having a nutty, spicy, warm and orange flavored. In biryani, it gives in a fresh flavor in combination with all the other pungent flavors.

Fennel seed

Fennel seeds have a strong flavor and an aroma that is somewhat bitter if eaten alone in seed form but it is known to enhance the flavors of biryani to a great extent.

Cumin seed

Cumin seeds have a nutty and peppery flavor adding a rich flavor to biryani and making it taste even more scrumptious.

Cardamom green

Cardamom is citrusy, minty and spicy. It is also highly fragrant which is why it is used in many sweet dishes and desserts around the world. In biryani, it compliments other aromatic and pungent spices making the biryani taste beyond delight.

Nutmeg 

This ingredient in biryani is known as the classic member of sweet spice quartet. But the other spices don’t have the capability to stand alone in a dish without the harmonizing flavor of those spices. In biryani, it adds the sweetness to balance the spices in it.
