- Mustard seed
- Cumin seed

Use this flavorful blend for meats, fish, Indian stews, with rice or lentils, potatoes, bread, as a pickling spice, or heated in ghee before adding other vegetables.
Panch Phoron is a robust and flavorful blend that is delicious as a rub for meats and fish, added to Indian stews, combined with rice and/or lentils, sprinkled on roasted potatoes, added to bread before baking, used as a pickling spice, or heated in oil before adding other vegetables.
The name Panch Phoron literally means "five spices" in Bengali. The blend is most often used whole (versus ground), and it is made from equal parts cumin seed, black cumin seed (nigella sativa), fenugreek seed, fennel seed, and mustard seed.

Hi! I'm Sandeep.
I travel to India, Asia, South America, and Europe to bring you back some of the most pristine, pure, organic clean ingredients in the world. All the products you'll find here at Pure Indian Foods are ones that me and my family use personally.
My family has been making ghee since 1889. Today, my wife, Nalini (aka "The Ghee Lady"), carries on this tradition. She still makes all the ghee and tightens every jar by hand.
We are passionate about bringing you traditional and nourishing foods. It's our labor of love and service to human-kind. Thank you for supporting our small family business.
