What's a good substitution for 5 spice powder?

Panch phoron is a Bengali 5-spice mix that combines aniseed, cumin, fenugreek, mustard and nigella. Don't confuse it with Chinese five spice powder, which is completely different. Substitutes: garam masala OR curry powder





To make your own Chinese 5-spice powder: Combine equal parts Szechwan (or black) pepper, star anise (or anise), cinnamon, cloves, and fennel, all ground.
