Natco Panch Puran - 100g is a whole five-spice mix for tempering, combining fenugreek, kalwanji, mustard, cumin and fennel seeds. Also commonly called panch phoron, this style of seed blend is associated with Bengali cooking. It brings together earthy, gently bitter, pungent and anise-like notes, making it a useful starting point for lentils, vegetables and savoury sauces.
The 100g pack brings five whole seeds together in one mix, saving you from measuring each spice separately. Whole seeds add texture as well as flavour and can be briefly warmed in oil at the start of cooking. Follow with your vegetables or lentils once the seeds become fragrant, taking care not to scorch them. Unlike ground five-spice powders, this is a whole-seed mixture intended for recipes that benefit from tempering.
