Panch Phoron Seeds Blend
The name Panch Phoron literally means “five spices” and refers to one of the most iconic blends of Bengali cuisine. This unique mix combines mustard seeds, fennel, cumin, fenugreek, and nigella seeds (kalonji) in equal parts. All ingredients are used in whole seed form, never ground, preserving their natural oils and aromatic intensity. The true flavor of Panch Phoron is released when the seeds are lightly fried in hot oil, unlocking a deep, nutty aroma that defines many Eastern Indian and Bangladeshi dishes.
Tuna Spice’s Panch Phoron is a traditional five-seed blend crafted with authentic ratios and a focus on freshness and purity. Comprising mustard seed, fennel, cumin, fenugreek, and nigella seed in equal parts, this blend delivers an unmistakable fragrance and taste when tempered in hot oil—a method widely used in Bengali and Eastern Indian cuisines.
Ideal for tempering (tadka/baghaar) or sautéing at the start of cooking, it enhances dishes with a nutty, warm, and subtly bitter profile. Free from any additives, fillers, or artificial flavors. 100% natural and gluten-free.
