Description: Shemin’s Panch Puren is a whole spice blend popular in Bangladesh, Nepal, West Bengal and India. It literally means five spices. You many have cooked with 4 of these spices before and love them alone and in combination with other seasonings, but somehow combined, they turn into a kalidoscope of flavor!
Uses: The spices are typically fried in oil or ghee and then added into dishes such as stews, vegetable curries and lentil dishes. Use in small quantities as panch puren is a strong spice.
Ingredients: Fenugreek Seeds, Nigella Seeds, Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds & Fennel Seeds.

Well I can say it was a success. For the record 210g rice 300ml stock or water 15g butter 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp turmeric 4 tsp Panch Puren Salt if you wish, I didn’t as the stock cube was enough Fry Punch Puren in oil for about a minute, take of stove, add butter and turmeric until butter melted, add washed rice and stir making sure rice is coated. Add hot stock and put back on stove bring to a rolling boil, put lid on pan turn heat off and leave undisturbed for 20 minutes. Take off stove, fluff up and serve. Alternatively cool quickly, put in fridge in an uncovered bowl and reheat when required. I find you get a better flavoured rice by doing this. If you want, Add mushroom, fried onions , peppers of whatever takes your fancy. Also excellent as a cold rice salad dish.
