Recipe: Yams with five Indian spices

Spices and aromatic herbs mixtures
February 11, 2011


It's been a while I created a blend of spices and I was completely conquered by the recipe Potatoes with Indian Five Spice, where I learned about Panch Phoron, a bengali spices mixture, whose name means five flavours.

Five Indian spices

I like how it looks, with the yellow fenugreek, the black nigella and the dark brown mustard.

Five Indian spices (Panch Phoron)


1 tsp nigella (black cumin) seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp black mustard seeds

I hade some beutiful orange yams, and I tought to use them for this recipe.
