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.
Shukto or Shuktoni is a Bengali cook's most well-kept secret. A mix of fresh summer vegetables ranging from raw bananas to radish and of course, bitter gourd, lightly cooked in milk, this is a dish that's perfectly representative of the delicacy that characterises Bengali cuisine.
