A blend of five aromatic seeds that are each an important component of any spice box.
Paach phoron, literally five spice, contains fenugreek, black mustard, nigella, cumin and fennel seeds, in the same quantities each. Each of these aromatics is strong enough to hold its own, yet eager to work with others. This gives this blend an interesting piquancy that is almost instantly identifiable.
A must for Bengali and Bangladeshi cuisine, this is quite popular in north India as well.
While this can easily be made at home, keep a packet of our Five Spice Mix handy if you want the surety of premium quality and perfect proportion.
Dhokar dalna, A dish which would score among the highest on both – the deliciousness quotient as well as fear factor. It's not so much the gravy as getting the lentil cakes right that is so difficult. It was because many of us at Sunrise missed out on cooking and enjoying dhokar dalna at home precisely because of this intimidation factor, that we came up with this instant dhoka mix. Just follow the instructions on the pack and you don't need to worry about whether you’ve added too much water or too less, if your dhoka will be too crumbly or too hard.
