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 black mustard seed, kadugu in Tamil and rai in Hindi.

It is the first thing into hot oil in almost every South Indian dish: sambar, poriyal, lemon rice, upma, chutney. Nothing else goes in until the seeds pop. Coarsely ground, it is also the base of mango and lime pickles. Choosing mustard seeds? Black for tempering and South Indian pickles, brown for a slightly milder bite, yellow mustard for North Indian and Bengali pastes.

Tip: Keep a lid in your other hand. Once the oil is hot enough, they pop out of the pan fast.

Goes well with: Heera Methi / Fenugreek Seeds, Heera Curry Leaves, LG Asafoetida (Hing) Cake
