Pancha phutana (in Odia) in frying pan

All of the spices in panch phoron are seeds. Typically, panch phoron consists of cumin seed (sada jeere), nigella seed (kalo jeere), fenugreek seed (methi), wild celery seed (radhuni) and fennel seed (mouri) in equal parts.[3] Some cooks prefer to use a smaller proportion of fenugreek seeds, because of their mildly bitter taste.[4]
