What it is

Heera is the main brand of P&B (Foods) Ltd, a Bradford-based company that describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods across Britain and Europe. This is its ajwain, the small ridged seed Tamil kitchens call omam.

It has a sharp, thyme-like taste that comes through even in a pinch, which is why it goes into dough and batter rather than by the spoonful. It is what gives omapodi its name and ajwain paratha its bite. Choosing between seeds? Ajwain for dough and batter, jeera for tempering and rice, kalonji for naan and pickles.

Tip: Crush the seeds between your palms over the bowl before adding them. It wakes up the smell.
