How to Make Panchphoron Aloo: Buy These 5 Ingredients
1. Potatoes
Potatoes are the key ingredient in this dish. Make sure you use good quality potatoes, as using old or rotten potatoes will not give you the results you want. In this recipe, you will need to cut them into cubes to cook them.

2. Vegetable oil
The next ingredient you will need to prepare this dish is vegetable oil. Once you have cubed the potatoes, transfer them to a pan with oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown before adding the masalas.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric (haldi) is added to most Indian dishes. This aloo dish also requires the use of this spice powder. This helps give it a distinct color and flavor. Additionally, you can also add red chili powder and adjust the quantity according to your taste preferences.

4. Whole spices
Whole spices are also an essential ingredient in this recipe. Buy whole spices like fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, nigella seeds and mustard seeds. Mix them nicely with the potatoes so the flavors blend well.
5. Coriander leaves
Cilantro leaves are generally considered an additional ingredient to add. But in fact, that’s what makes a dish truly complete. Once the potatoes are cooked through, don’t forget to garnish them with a handful of fresh coriander leaves. They also add a pleasant aroma to it.
