Mehran is the older, more heavily certified house and several of its packs are bigger; Shan is the better-known name with the wider range of single-dish mixes. For biryani, qorma and nihari our own kitchen picks Mehran; if you grew up on the Shan taste, stay with Shan.<\/p>\n<h3>The two companies<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Mehran<\/th>\n<th>Shan<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Maker<\/td>\n<td>Mehran Spice &amp; Food Industries<\/td>\n<td>Shan Foods<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Pack sizes<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Mix<\/th>\n<th>Mehran<\/th>\n<th>Shan<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Bombay Biryani<\/td>\n<td>65 g<\/td>\n<td>60 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Biryani<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sindhi Biryani<\/td>\n<td>60 g<\/td>\n<td>60 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nihari<\/td>\n<td>60 g<\/td>\n<td>60 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Achar Gosht<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Karahi<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<td>50 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The product pages always show the current price and stock.<\/p>\n<h3>Taste and style<\/h3>\n<p>Both brands cover the same Mughlai classics. Mehran blends tend to be bolder and lean on whole-spice aroma (cardamom, clove, star anise, bay leaf). Shan mixes are tuned for a consistent, familiar result and carry a recipe card inside the pack in several languages. Neither is &#8220;hotter&#8221; across the board; it varies dish by dish, so start with a little less of either pack and adjust.<\/p>\n<h3>Our recommendation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Biryani (Bombay, Sindhi, Hyderabadi):<\/strong> Mehran \u2013 the Bombay pack is bigger (65 g vs 60 g).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nihari:<\/strong> Mehran or Shan \u2013 both excellent; Shan&#8217;s pack carries the full 6-hour recipe inside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Achar Gosht, Karahi, BBQ and kabab mixes:<\/strong> Shan is our pick here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desserts (kheer, sheer khurma):<\/strong> Mehran has kheer and sheer khurma mixes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Shop the full ranges: <a href=\"\/product-category\/mehran-masala-online-india\/\">Mehran Masala<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/product-category\/shan-masala-india\/\">Shan Masala<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/product-category\/combo-offers\/\">Combo offers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-page\">\n<h3>Questions &amp; answers<\/h3>\n<h2>Is Mehran better than Shan?<\/h2>\n<p>Mehran is the older company (1975 vs 1981), carries FSSC 22000, HACCP and ISO 9001 certification and US FDA registration, and several of its packs are bigger. Shan is the more widely known brand with a bigger savoury range. Both are genuine; our pick for biryani, qorma and nihari is Mehran.<\/p>\n<h2>Which brand is spicier?<\/h2>\n<p>It varies by dish. Mehran blends tend to be bolder, while Shan Sindhi Biryani is Shan&#8217;s hottest biryani mix. Use a little less of either pack for a milder result.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Mehran make dessert mixes?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes \u2013 dessert mixes: kheer, zafrani kheer, badam kheer, pista kheer and sheer khurma.<\/p>\n<h2>Where can I buy original Mehran and Shan masala in India?<\/h2>\n<p>At 72shop.in \u2013 genuine imported packs and a GST invoice with every order.
