Lovers of Bengali cuisine would be familiar with the panchphoran spices; the blend of five-spice seeds- cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds and nigella seeds in equal measure. An infinite variety of dishes can be prepared with this combination of spices that offer a depth of flavour and aroma. Panchphoran Tarkari Sabzi is quite common in West Bengal as a festive food item. It ... is made out of a combination of five vegetables and the five spices to create an appetizing mix that is out of this world. The Panchphoran spices are not only used with vegetables and lentils but also with non-vegetarian cuisines involving chicken, mutton and fish. This Panchphoran Sabzi Recipe involves a dish with a whole eggplant and a fourth of the portion of bananas. The sweet and spicy combination is perfect to be had with chappatis, roti and even pooris if you love experimenting. The Panchphoran Sabzi Ingredients are basic to what is found in most Indian kitchens. The Panchphoran spices can be ordered online or purchased at your local organic supermarket. You could also take it a step further and source each spice individually and mix them equally to create your own blend to Prepare Panchphoran Sabzi at Home. If you have children who aren’t fans of Brinjal, this delicious Panchphoran Sabzi Recipe can fix that. Its smooth texture along with the strong flavour and aroma of the spices will be a delight with both chappatis and rice, so not only would they want to enjoy it at home but also pack it to school.
