How to make Bengali special Five Spice mix or Panch Phoron?

Actually, it’s a mix of five different spices and very much popular in Eastern India. These spices are easily available in any grocery shop separately. You can bring them and make your own, or you can buy a readymade five-spice mix or panch phoron from any grocery shop.

The spices are:

  • Fenugreek seed

  • Fennel seed

What happens if I use Onion and garlic in this recipe?

These make not any difference in this recipe. Personally, I am not adding these ingredients because I prepare this recipe for pure vegetarians. Actually, for the Bengali religion, they can’t eat onion and garlic for any holy day like puja or something. So they need to cook everything without onion and garlic, that’s means pure veg. So this shahi aloo dum is perfect for them of served with puri or Radhaballavi.

Notes

∗ While it’s shahi aloo dum, you can also add poppy seeds, melon seeds along with cashew paste. These all taste great together is any recipe.
∗ At the start, I use Bengali special panch phoron for temper but that is totally optional. You can also use only cumin seeds instead. I just use it because it brings a nice aroma in the aloo dum because this total recipe is without onion and garlic.
∗ If you need a little strong and authentic flavor in this recipe, so replace the refined oil with mustard oil.
