I’ll start:
When I barbecue, I love Shan’s Tikka Boti masala for my beef botis
For Nihari, I use 1/2 packet of Laziza Nihari & 1/2 packet of Shan (I don’t know why, but it does work!)
I like Shan’s Kichra/Haleem masala as well
Laziza’s Karhai masala is pretty good too…

Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?

Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
i like shan haleem mix,national nihari n achaar gosht masala,n national bombay biryani masala...yummmz
i dont know why but i didnt like the shan masalas available here
so after months n months of trying i found national masalas better

omggggg...that's what I use for my biryani...after years of trying different ones, this is my favorite!
For masalas, I stick to shan....I used to experiment wiht National or Laziza but....idk..lately national has gotten really icky (to me anyway).
I absolutely HATE the bombay biryani masala...it is sooooo spicy.

next time I am in NYC, you are inviting me over.
or bring a tiffin full of it to terminal 4 of JFK
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
I love Shan’s Haleem masala .. the one with the daalein and all. Such a time saver and comes out delish.
For biryani I love Shan’s “Special Bombay Biryani mix” .. everyone always ask me for the recipe ..little do they know it’s all Shan ka kamaal 
I put shan chicken curry masala, just a lil bit, in my daals … gives it a yummy flavor 
Overall Im a shan masala fangirl
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
I hardly use any....except National's Achar Gosht masala.
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
Also, I like the dahi bara/pala/bhala (whatever) mix.
for anything with potatoes, I use the aloo bhujia masala....
dal curry for dal
otherwise, most of my other dishes are a combination of reuglar masalas + a bit o shaan
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
i love it too i always make it with leftover chicken n its ready in minutes…
i love spicy n khatta food as m a hydero…
back in pakistan i was always using shan masalas…
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
The new National masala are pretty good. Ive tried their achar gosht and chat masala and they have good authentic taste. Shaan, I sometimes use qorma masala because it gives a deghi qorma kushboo to the dish. I still am looking for a good biryani masala that does not over power the dish yet give great taste and aroma.
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
oh yeah...I love using their chaat masala too.
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
Shan chaat masala is the best!
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
My mom barely ever uses them but if she does its usually Shan or Laziza...mostly Laziza.
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
shan masalas are good :)
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
I never tried laziza, I will check them now
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
I don’t like Laziza (at least the kind we get here). The new National ones that i’ve tried are great.
Shaan is a hit or miss.
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
I don know whether there are any new national masala o not I have to do some search I think
Re: Which prepared/boxed masalas do you like to use?
This is the new packet
And this one is old
