Topop Punch Pooran / Panch Pooran

Topop Punch Pooran - 100 grams

This wonderfully aromatic mix of five popular spices is particularly common in Bengal and Eastern India, because it can be used in a variety of ways. It can be fried in hot oil or ghee which will start the seeds popping very quickly, releasing their incredible flavours and oils. This is known as a baghar (tempering), and is often used to coat various vegetables or meat when cooking. Once the seeds have been roasted, Panch Pooran can also be sprinkled, whole or crushed, into a number of dishes. It works particularly well in stews, dhals, and even in bread and pickles.
For best results, store whole in an airtight container and only crush or grind the exact amount you need for a dish to help keep its vibrant flavour.
Ingredients: Fennel, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nigella Seeds, MUSTARD.
