A blend of five spice seeds which are added whole to the oil in the first stage of cooking.

Ingredients

 

2 tablespoons brown or black mustard seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons nigella (kalonji) seeds
1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds

Directions

Combine in a glass jar. Shake before use to ensure seeds are evenly mixed as the heavier seeds tend to gravitate to the bottom.
