bangladeshi saag

[Guest guest]

hello! after reading the bangladeshi saag recipe, I noticed it calls

for panch phoron or 5 spice - it occurred to me that maybe some might

not know what that is, so I'm including the recipe for this. I think

I have a saag aloo (spinach and potato)recipe too, so I'll post it

later if I can find it.

 

panch phoron

==============

 

Ingredients:

 

Cumin Seed (Jeera)

Fennel seeds (Saunf)

Fenugreek seeds (Methi)

Black Mustard seeds (Raai / Raee)

Nigella seeds (onion seeds)

 

 

How to make panch phoron:

Mix equal quantities of the above ingredients.

It can be used whole or ground to a fine powder as per taste.

Though it is available ready-mixed, it is possible to blend it at

home.

It is best to grind small quantities as and when required.

Panch phoron is added to hot oil before adding vegetables or other

legumes.
