Pardes Ready-to-Cook Paste

Real biryani.
No shortcuts.

One jar of whole spices, slow-fried onions, and roasted aromatics — the exact base a Pakistani kitchen builds a dum biryani on. You bring the meat and rice.

How the jar becomes biryani

Built in layers.
Just like the pot.

Dum cooking means sealing the pot so the rice steams in the aroma trapped underneath it. Here's what's already sitting inside your jar, and where it lands once you start layering.

01
Whole spices, slow-roasted
Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and bay, roasted whole before grinding — the base note under every real dum biryani.
Base
02
Fried onions, cooked down slow
Onions caramelized low and slow until they collapse into the paste — the step most home cooks skip for time.
Body
03
Your meat, coated and rested
Rub the paste into chicken, beef, or mutton and let it sit — this is where the flavor actually gets in.
Marinade
04
Rice on top, lid sealed tight
Parboiled rice goes over the marinated meat, the pot is sealed, and the steam does the rest on low heat.

What's actually in the jar

No shortcuts. No filler.

No artificial colors — no preservatives — no MSG

From jar to table

Three steps. One pot.

01Marinate

Coat your meat in the paste. Rest it for at least 30 minutes — longer if you have the time.

02Layer

Parboil your rice, then layer it over the marinated meat in a heavy-bottomed pot.

03Dum-cook

Seal the lid, drop the heat low, and let it steam for 20–25 minutes undisturbed.

Before you cook

A few things people ask

Do I need to add my own spices?

No — the paste already carries the full spice base. Just add your meat, rice, and salt to taste.

Can I use this for vegetable or paneer biryani?

Yes. The paste works the same way for a vegetarian layer — marinate your vegetables or paneer the same as you would meat.

How long does one jar last once opened?

Refrigerate after opening and use within 2–3 weeks for the best flavor.

Is it spicy?

It's a balanced medium heat — noticeable, not overwhelming. You can always scale it back with extra yogurt in the marinade.
