Known as Panch Phoran, the name translates to “five spices,” referring to the equal combination of carefully selected seeds that create a distinctive aromatic base for cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend typically includes cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, and nigella seeds. Each ingredient contributes a unique flavour element, from earthy and nutty notes to mild bitterness and subtle sweetness, resulting in a balanced and complex taste profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many spice mixes, Panch Puran is used whole rather than ground. It is traditionally added to hot oil or ghee at the beginning of cooking, where the seeds begin to pop and release their natural oils and aroma. This process forms the flavour base for a variety of dishes, including vegetables, lentils, fish, and pickles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis seasoning is highly versatile and can also be used in soups, stews, rice dishes, and marinades. It is particularly effective in vegetarian cooking but adapts well to meat and seafood recipes. The 60g size offers a practical quantity for regular use while maintaining freshness in an airtight container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize \/ Weight: 60g pot\u003cbr\u003eContainer Type: Airtight pot for freshness and easy storage\u003cbr\u003eBlend Type: Whole spice mix (not ground)\u003cbr\u003eKey Ingredients: Cumin, fennel, fenugreek, mustard seeds, nigella seeds\u003cbr\u003eFlavour Profile: Aromatic, slightly nutty, mildly bitter with subtle sweetness\u003cbr\u003eDietary Info: Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets\u003cbr\u003eUsage: Ideal for tempering, curries, lentils, vegetables, fish, pickles and rice dishes\u003cbr\u003eCuisine Style: Bengali \/ Eastern Indian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60g pot is suitable for frequent cooking, offering consistent flavour and ease of use.
