My Notes

For 1 kg of meat - Mutton or Beef - use 2.1/2 Tablespoons Heaped Biryani Masala or more according to the spiciness you required.

For 1 Kg Chicken - use 2 Tablespoons Biryani Masala or more according to the spiciness you required.
You can also add 1/2 level of Tandoori color too. Did not add it since in all biryani's, do not like it orange.

For vegetable biryani add according your taste, spiciness and quantity of veggies.
