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 their butter ghee: butter slowly clarified until only the golden fat is left.

It is the ghee for tempering pongal, frying cashews for payasam, and the spoon over hot rice with paruppu podi. Sweets where the ghee is meant to be tasted, like mysorepak and nei appam, need it too. Choosing between ghees? Heera for everyday cooking and sweets, GRB for that South Indian roasted smell, Amul for a big family tin.

Tip: Fry cashews and raisins in ghee on a low flame and take them off just before they look done. They keep browning in the hot ghee.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Ponni Raw Rice, Udhaiyam Moong Dhal, Heera Cashew Nuts
