Shan Meat Masala 100g

About This Meat Masala

Shan Meat Masala is a carefully balanced spice blend designed to deliver the deep, aromatic flavour of traditional South Asian meat curries at home. The 100g pack provides a generous, pre-measured mix that takes the complexity out of building a meat masala from individual spices.

The blend combines red chilli, coriander, cumin, ginger, garlic, cardamom, and cloves in a well-rounded formulation that develops rich, layered flavour during slow cooking. Notably, the masala includes natural tenderisers such as dried papaya powder, which help break down meat fibres for a softer, more succulent result without requiring extended marination.

Free from added preservatives and artificial food colours, Shan Meat Masala is formulated for home cooks who want authentic taste with clean, reliable ingredients. It is suitable for beef, mutton, lamb, and chicken preparations across a wide range of traditional recipes.

Flavor & Spice Profile

Shan Meat Masala delivers a robust, full-bodied flavour with warm heat, earthy depth, and aromatic whole spice character. Prominent notes of red chilli and cumin provide the base heat, while coriander adds mild citrusy balance. Cardamom and cloves contribute a warm, fragrant lift, and ginger-garlic rounds out the blend with a bold, savoury undertone. The result is a deeply layered masala that builds richness as it cooks.

Culinary Uses

Shan Meat Masala is ideal for preparing traditional beef, mutton, lamb, and chicken curries. To use, fry onions in oil until golden, then add meat and sauté until browned. Stir in the masala along with yoghurt and ginger-garlic paste, then add water to reach the desired gravy consistency. Simmer on low heat until the meat is tender and oil separates to the surface. The blend also works well for slow-cooked karahi, handi-style preparations, and bone-in meat dishes where deep spice absorption is essential.

Benefits

Shan Meat Masala simplifies traditional meat curry preparation by combining all essential spices — including natural tenderisers — in a single, pre-balanced blend. This reduces preparation time while ensuring consistent flavour and texture across every cook. Free from artificial colours and preservatives, it delivers a clean, authentic taste suitable for everyday family meals. The 100g pack provides sufficient quantity for multiple servings, making it a practical and reliable staple for meat-based cooking.
