Bengali cooking starts with panch phoran. Buy Panch Phoran 100g in Prague from Samaann with fast delivery across Czech Republic.
Panch phoran is a unique Bengali five-spice blend containing equal parts of Fennel Seeds, Kalonji, Fenugreek Seeds, cumin, and radhuni (wild celery seeds). Unlike other Indian spice blends, panch phoran uses whole seeds — never ground. When heated in oil or ghee, each seed releases its distinct flavour at different rates, creating a complex, layered taste. Learn about panch phoron on Wikipedia.
This 100g pack lasts 3–4 months. Use 1 teaspoon in hot oil for tempering Bengali dal, shukto (bitter vegetable curry), aloo posto, fish curries, and pickles. It is also used in Assamese, Odia, and Bihari cooking.
Essential for Bengali students in Prague who miss the distinctive flavour of home cooking. Also excellent for anyone wanting to explore regional Indian cuisines beyond the North Indian mainstream.
