Shan Punjabi Yakhni Pilau-50g

Weight: 50g (Standard pack size).

Product: Shan Punjabi Yakhni Pulao Seasoning Mix.

Quality: A premium, clean-label regional blend crafted to replicate the authentic flavors of a traditional Punjabi Yakhni (broth-based) pulao. It is made from natural ingredients, certified Halal, suitable for vegetarians, and entirely free from artificial flavors.

Flavor Profile: Subtle, deeply aromatic, and comforting. Unlike fiery biryanis, this mix focuses on the soothing warmth of cracked coriander seeds, fennel, cumin, and whole spices. It creates a highly fragrant, savory rice dish with a mild, sophisticated heat level.

Convenience: Preparing a traditional Yakhni usually requires bundling whole spices in a cheesecloth (potli) and slow-simmering a broth for hours. This powder mix simplifies the process significantly, infusing the rice with that deep, broth-cooked flavor in a fraction of the time.

Common Uses:

• Mutton or Beef Yakhni Pulao: The traditional Punjabi choice, where the rice absorbs the rich, spiced meat broth.

• Chicken Pulao: A lighter, quick-cooking weekday favorite.

• Vegetable/Chickpea Pulao: Because the formula is vegetarian-friendly, it serves as an excellent base for a rich vegetable and chickpea broth rice.

Why Choose Shan: Shan excels at preserving regional heritage recipes. Their Punjabi Yakhni Pulao mix is a favorite for those who want a break from heavy, tomato-based curries and prefer a clean, elegant, and intensely aromatic rice dish where the grain itself is the star.

Cooking Tip: To stay true to the Punjabi style, use Basmati rice and cook the dish using ghee instead of regular oil. Sauté plenty of sliced onions until they are a deep golden brown before adding your meat and water—this caramelized onion base gives the pulao its signature rich, tan color and subtle sweetness.
