ReplyDeleteHi Sara,
ReplyDeletePancha-phutana or pancha phoran is a seasoning which is very commonly used in Oriya and Bengali cusines....its a mix of mustard, cumin, fennel, fenugreek and black cumin seeds in equal proportions ( this may vary according to ones taste ).
Muga dali is the regular moong dal while biri dali is the white/black dal that we use to prepare idli/dosa batter.....
Will make sure to mention the english names ( or atleast post the pictures if i am not aware of it ) of the ingredients when i post the next recipe!!!!
