Panchforon also spelled Panch Phoron, is a blend of five whole spices that is commonly used in Bengali cuisine, particularly in dishes from Bangladesh. The name "panchforon" translates to "five spices" in Hindi, referring to the five seeds that make up the blend.

The five spices that makeup panchforon are cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, and nigella seeds. The blend is typically used in equal parts, although the ratios can be adjusted to suit personal preference.

Panchforon is used as a seasoning in a wide variety of dishes, including lentil and vegetable stews, meat and fish curries, and even pickles. When heated in oil or ghee, the spices release their aroma and flavor, giving the dish a complex, slightly sweet, and slightly bitter taste.

Panchforon is a unique and versatile spice blend that is essential to many traditional Bengali dishes. It can be found in many Indian and Bangladeshi grocery stores and online retailers.

Radhuni Mustard Oil 1L

Mustard oil is a vegetable oil that is made from the seeds of the mustard plant. It has a distinctive pungent flavor and aroma, and is commonly used in Indian, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani cuisine.

Mustard oil is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. It is also rich in antioxidants and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

In Indian cuisine, mustard oil is often used for frying and cooking, as well as for making pickles and chutneys. It is also used as a base for marinades and spice blends. However, it is important to note that mustard oil has a low smoke point, which means it should not be heated to very high temperatures.

In some countries, including the United States and Canada, mustard oil is not approved for consumption due to its high levels of erucic acid, which can be harmful in large amounts. However, in India and other countries where it is commonly used, the production and consumption of mustard oil are regulated and controlled to ensure its safety.

Mustard oil is widely available in Indian grocery stores and online, and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
