What is Panch phoron called in Tamil?

Panch phoron is not commonly used in Tamil cuisine. It's a Bengali spice blend, and there isn't a direct equivalent in Tamil cooking.

However, you can find similar spice blends used in Tamil cuisine, such as:

* "Kara Kuzhambu Podi": A blend of spices that includes coriander, cumin, peppercorns, and sometimes fennel seeds.

* "Sambar Podi": A spice blend commonly used for sambar, which can include ingredients like coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili peppers, and mustard seeds.

These blends may not have all the same ingredients as panch phoron, but they offer similar flavor profiles.
