Why we stock it
- Made in Bradford: blended by Mumtaz in the same city as the shop.
- One pack, one dish: the whole spice mix for the dish is in the packet, no building a masala from eight jars.
- Consistent: the same result every time, which is hard to manage grinding your own.
- Halal throughout: suitable for a halal kitchen.
- Comes with the meat: add it to a counter order and it goes in the same bag.
How to use it
Same method as a traditional biryani, but the spicing is louder and it can carry a stronger meat.
Spice the meat: yoghurt and masala, at least two hours, overnight if you can.
Part-cook the rice: basmati to about 70%, then drain.
Layer and seal: lid on tight, lowest heat, 25 minutes, then rest before opening.
Tip: a couple of dried plums tucked into the meat layer is the traditional Bombay touch and it is what gives the dish its sour backnote.
Goes well with
Mutton mix on the bone, lamb mix on the bone or chicken leg curry cut.

Frequently asked questions

Hotter than the traditional mix, though still short of a vindaloo. It is sharp rather than punishing.
Which meat suits it?

Is it halal?
Yes. Mumtaz is a halal food producer and the whole range is suitable for a halal kitchen.
Where is it made?
Bradford. Mumtaz have produced from the city for over forty years, which is why we stock them alongside our own counter.
