Shan Masala — Every Blend, and Which One to Buy
Shan's recipe masalas explained: biryani vs Bombay biryani, karahi vs qorma, plus the 35+ Shan products AkBaat delivers same-day in Kasur.
Ask any overseas Pakistani what they pack in their suitcase and Shan masala usually makes the list. Founded in Karachi in 1981, Shan built its name on one promise: restaurant-style flavour from a home kitchen, using a single pack.
The Shan Range at AkBaat
Rice dishes — Biryani, Beef Biryani, Sindhi Biryani and Pulao masalas.
Curries — Karahi, Qorma, Achar Gosht, Nihari and Haleem blends.
BBQ and kabab — Bihari Kabab, Seekh Kabab and Tikka mixes, plus a meat tenderizer that earns its place before every BBQ evening.

Which Blend for Which Occasion
| You are cooking | Reach for |
|---|---|
| Friday family biryani | Biryani Masala (chicken/mutton) or Beef Biryani |
| Quick weeknight chicken | Karahi Masala — 30 minutes, one pan |
| Dawat / guests | Qorma Masala — rich, forgiving, crowd-safe |
| BBQ evening | Bihari Kabab + Meat Tenderizer together |
| Fruit chaat, snacks | Chaat Masala shaker |
Buying Tips
- Shan packs print the full recipe (Urdu and English) on the back, including meat weight and yoghurt quantities — follow it exactly the first time, then adjust.
- The tenderizer matters for beef kababs: 30 minutes of marination changes the texture completely.
- Spice-sensitive household? Use two-thirds of a pack; Shan's full pack assumes a bold palate.
