What it is

Shan Foods was founded in 1981 by Sikandar Sultan in Karachi, Pakistan. It is known for packaged spice and recipe mixes for South Asian dishes.

Fried onion, or birista, is the golden, crisp onion that goes between biryani layers and on top of it. Doing it at home means slicing a kilo of onions and standing over hot oil for twenty minutes. This tub is only fried onions, ready to use. Choosing between? Shan Fried Onion for biryani and korma; Shan Briyani Masala to go with it; Shan Ginger Garlic Paste for the curry base.

Tip: Crush a handful into a korma or chicken gravy. It thickens the sauce and makes it taste slow-cooked.

Goes well with: Shan Briyani Masala, Laila Basmati Rice, Udhaiyam Masoor Dal
