Zsófi is a Hungarian spice expert and herbalist horticulture engineer who has been working with Indian spice culture and additive-free seasoning for years. She grows her own spice plants in her garden, and thousands follow her recipes.

Together with her, we created an additive-free spice mix that can be used for multiple rice dishes.

The Valoryz biryani spice mix is excellent for Indian rice dishes. You can create mildly spicy, pleasantly seasoned meat or vegetable dishes with it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Valoryz Biryani Spice Mix

What is biryani and how is it traditionally prepared?

Biryani is one of the most famous one-pot dishes of Indian cuisine, prepared by layering long-grain rice with spiced meat or vegetables. The name comes from the Urdu and Persian word “biryan,” meaning roasting. Traditionally, it is prepared using the “dum” method: the rice and filling are layered in a covered pot and steamed over low heat in their own steam, so that every flavor layer is preserved and blends together. The Valoryz biryani spice mix contains exactly the eleven spices, including cardamom, clove, turmeric, and cinnamon, that give biryani its authentic flavor.

How does the Valoryz biryani spice mix differ from store-bought versions?

Most store-bought spice mixes contain some kind of additive: flavor enhancer, anti-caking agent, artificial aroma, or preservative. The Valoryz biryani spice mix consists exclusively of real, ground spices—no flavor enhancers, no fillers, no other additives. Additionally, we developed it with the collaboration of Zsófia Nagy, “The Spice Girl”: the proportions and spice selection were not based on an industrial recipe, but were created with knowledge of the Indian flavor profile.

Can vegetarians and vegans use the Valoryz biryani spice mix?

Yes, the mix contains only plant-based spices, with no animal ingredients whatsoever. You can prepare vegetarian biryani with vegetables, chickpeas, or tofu, and for a vegan version, vegetable stock and coconut milk are perfect accompaniments. The biryani spice mix is not only suitable for classic biryani—it works excellently with curry, spiced rice side dishes, and roasted vegetables as well.
