Panch Phoran is a Bengali spice mixture used to provide a base flavoring to many Indian recipes. The flavors drift from one to another with each bite, giving the spices a chance to surprisingly show the unique flavor rather than disappearing in a blur of spices ground together. The spices themselves are commonly found in Indian markets (at a much better price as well!), although some high end supermarkets may have them, provided their shelf space allows it. If you cannot find your spices there, I strongly suggest buying on the internet.

1/3 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon nigella seeds
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon cumin seed

Directions

1
Mix seeds and store in an airtight container. Do NOT grind them before storage or cooking (they are used whole).
2
When using in a recipe, add the mixed seeds into a pan with ghee or cooking oil.
3
When they sizzle and pop a little bit, begin adding the other ingredients to the pan.

I made one third of this recipe to use in Cauliflower Dal With Panch Phoron and it was quite delicious in that application. Now I am on a quest to find more recipes that use this delicious mixture.

I wrote a review and rated it earlier today, but it posted without my comments so I'm adding another. I am addicted to this - the taste and the smell! Yummmm. Now I find myself sprinkly this on almost everything that passes through my kitchen! I found the seeds in our Chinatown. Lovely stuff, thanks Sue, BB
