The Panch Phoran Masala, is a very traditional spice mix used in the Bengali cuisine that is mostly a blend of 5 important spices. I have known a few bengalis who debate over which spice rules over the other. Which is when I realised, that every home has their small and subtle variations to this Panch Phoron spice mix.
But essentially, the house help who cooked for me while I stayed in Kolkata, made the Panch phoron with fennel seeds, black mustard, nigella seeds, golden fenugreek and cumin seeds.
