Description

Panch Phoran is a blend of five spices and is commonly used in Eastern India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The Panch Phoron spices are tempered in oil/ghee allowing them to release their aromas and pop in the pan, and then the other ingredients are added. All five spices are usually added in equal proportions, though you can vary the proportions to suit your taste. Panch Phoron can be used as a rub for meats, added to stews, sprinkled on vegetables, or used for pickling vegetables. It adds an enticing fragrance and a lovely taste to a range of recipes.
