What it is

Heera is the main brand of P&B (Foods) Ltd, a Bradford company that describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods across Britain and Europe. This is the same whole black pepper as the small bag, in a 300g size for households that grind their own podi and masala.

Whole peppercorns hold their heat and smell far longer than ground pepper, so a bigger bag makes sense if you crush it fresh. It is the backbone of Chettinad pepper chicken, milagu kuzhambu and ven pongal. Choosing between sizes? This 300g bag for regular grinding; Heera Black Pepper Whole 100g for a small jar; Swaad Black Pepper Whole 50gms for the smallest pack.

Tip: Dry-roast a handful for a minute before grinding for pepper chicken. When the kitchen smells of it, stop.

Goes well with: Annapoorna Chettinad Pepper Chicken Masala, Heera Fennel Seeds / Sounf, Aachi Ven Pongal
