Panch Poran comes from the Bengali region of India and Bangladesh, where it has long been used to bring warmth and depth to curries, vegetables, and lentil dishes. Meaning “five spices,” this blend combines five seeds, nigella, fenugreek, fennel, mustard, and cumin. Each adding its own colour, aroma, and character to every dish.
Tempering (Tadka): Heat oil or ghee in a pan, add ½–1 tsp of Panch Poran, and let the seeds crackle before adding vegetables, lentils, or curries. This releases its signature nutty, aromatic flavour.
Vegetable Dishes: Perfect for potato, pumpkin, eggplant, okra, and cauliflower dishes. Try it in Aloo Gobi or Pumpkin Sabzi.
Lentil & Bean Dishes: Add to dal tadka or lentil soups for a warm, earthy finish.
Pickles & Chutneys: Stir through homemade pickles, chutneys, or relishes for an authentic Bengali twist.
Seafood & Meats: Lightly toast and sprinkle over pan-fried fish or chicken to add depth and a hint of spice.
✨ Pro Tip
For best results, toast the blend lightly before adding it to your dish as this unlocks the oils in the seeds and enhances the flavour and aroma.
