Blend scaler
Pick a blend, pick whose version you want, and set a batch size. Proportions are by weight, because measuring a blend by spoon gives a different mix — the spices differ in density.
| Ingredient | Weight | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Fenugreek seed | 10.0 g | 20% |
| Nigella | 10.0 g | 20% |
| Cumin seed | 10.0 g | 20% |
| Black mustard seed | 10.0 g | 20% |
| Radhuni | 10.0 g | 20% |
Answer
50 g of panch phoron from 5 ingredients
Based on the with radhuni, attributed to traditional bengali composition where radhuni is available.
What you asked
- Blend:
- Panch phoron
- Version:
- With radhuni — Traditional Bengali composition where radhuni is available
- Target batch:
- 50 g
How it was worked out
Each ingredient's parts are divided by the total parts to give its share of the mix, and that share is multiplied by the target batch weight. Scaling is linear, so the same shares apply at any batch size.
1. Add up the parts
Fenugreek seed 1 + Nigella 1 + Cumin seed 1 + Black mustard seed 1 + Radhuni 1
= 5 parts
2. Work out the weight of one part
50 g ÷ 5 parts
= 10 g per part
3. Multiply each ingredient by its parts
= 5 ingredients scaled
What this assumes
- Proportions are by weight, not by volume. Measuring these by spoon would give a different mix, because the spices differ in density.
- Proportions come from the "With radhuni" version, attributed to Traditional Bengali composition where radhuni is available.
- Those proportions are recorded as documented.
Where this stops being reliable
- This is one of 2 versions recorded for Panch phoron. It is not the definitive one — there isn't one.
