Homemade Panch Phoron - The Traditional, 
Super Easy-to-Make Bengali Blend

Panch Phoron, often known as Bengali 5 spice, has to be the easiest blend you can make! Simply mix 5 equal parts of traditional spices together and you're done. I sometimes like to toast and coarsely grind them first before mixing. Recipe for both ways is shown below. 

What You'll Need: (makes 5 tablespoons)

1 tbsp nigella seeds
1 tbsp brown or black mustard seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds 
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds

tbsp = tablespoon

Directions:

  • Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl

Store in an airtight jar out of sunlight and use within 1 year.
