Panch Phoron (mild) 50g box of 12

Description

Panch Phoron is a whole spice blend, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used widely in the cuisine of Bangladesh, Eastern India & Southern Nepal. The name literally means ‘five spices‘ in Bengali. All of the spices in Panch Phoron are seeds. Ours is a beautiful blend of cumin seeds, nigella seeds, fennel seeds, black mustard seeds & fenugreek seeds. Unlike most spice mixes, panch phoron is always used whole & never ground. It is traditionally used with vegetables, chicken, curries, fish, lentils & even in pickles. If you do try & grind it, someone is going to knock on your door & take it off you. Maybe. Panch Phoron is typically fried in oil or ghee, which causes it to begin ‘popping’; this technique is known as ‘tempering’. Then, other ingredients are added to the fried spices to be coated in the mixture. It is the perfect way to begin a curry, tempering the spices this way, then adding finely diced onion to allow the flavours to mingle before adding the rest of the ingredients. For a twist on the classic, try sprinkling 1 tsp over potatoes before roasting. Like so many in our range, this is another that’s sugar-free, gluten-free, paleo & vegan too. With no fillers or anything artificial, our unique blend of herbs & spice create the purest, freshest flavour possible to give your food attitude. This makes it ‘free’ on all the slimming plans we know of. Wholesale price per unit: £1.75 Retail price per unit: £2.99
