Panch Phoron – Altes Gewürzamt

Ingo Holland's Panch Phoron is an Indian spice blend from Altes Gewürzamt in Klingenberg. The basis of this spice blend is roasted fenugreek seeds and brown mustard seeds. Black cumin, cumin, and fennel seeds in equal parts bring wonderfully fragrant notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, licorice, and anise. Panch Phoron is ideal for legumes, cabbage, flatbreads and white bread, and very delicious in meat dishes, giving them an interesting sweet and spicy aroma.

Panch Phoron – from the cuisine of India

Panch Phoron means as much as five seeds or five spices and is a classic aromatic-warming, but not spicy, spice mixture that is native to Bengali cuisine and the neighboring regions of Assam and Odisha. The very unique taste between the sweetness of fennel, the spiciness of mustard, and the bitterness of fenugreek is versatile in the kitchen.
