Specially for Biryani and other Indian curries, I use homemade Garam Masala for the essence of all the shahi ingredients in it.

Steps

15minutes

1

You need to grind all the ingredients together in a grinder. Keep the cover tight and hold it while grinding.
2

It will be difficult to grind nutmeg, so you need to grate half nutmeg and then grind with other ingredients.
3

You can use shahi jeera in case of normal jeera seed, if available in the market.
4

My special advice would be not to grind bay leaves, as you can put the leaves directly in the tempering while cooking.
5

Some people grind star anise too, but the things which you can use in tempering while cooking.
6

You can store it in room temperature, for around 3-4months.
