DRUKCAN Panch Phoran is the classic five-whole-spice blend — fennel, fenugreek, mustard, nigella, and cumin seeds — that is central to Bengali and eastern Nepali (particularly Madheshi and Terai) cooking. The blend is always used whole, fried briefly in hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking to release a complex, layered fragrance that cannot be achieved with ground spices. Panch phoran is the foundation for countless vegetable dishes, lentil preparations, and fish curries from the lowland Terai region and across Bengal. DRUKCAN blends the five spices in traditional proportions so you have the right balance every time — no measuring five separate jars, just a clean, aromatic spoon straight from the pack into your hot oil.
