Panch Phoron is a traditional Bengali spice blend combining five aromatic seeds: fenugreek, black onion, brown mustard, cumin, and fennel. This versatile tempering spice releases its full flavour when heated in oil or ghee, infusing dishes with warm, slightly bitter, and subtly sweet notes. Perfect for seasoning vegetables, lentils, and rice dishes, Panch Phoron adds authentic depth to Indian cuisine. Use sparingly—a small amount goes a long way. Store in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve its potency.
