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. These are dried kabuli chickpeas, the large, pale kind, in the bag size for families who cook chana every week.

Soaked and cooked, they turn creamy inside with a slight bite, and they soak up whatever gravy they sit in. Punjabi chole, a dry coconut sundal and hummus all start here. Choosing between chickpeas? Kabuli for chole and sundal; Heera Kala Chana 2kg for the smaller, nuttier black kind; Heera Chick Peas 500g for a trial bag.

Tip: Drop a tea bag into the cooker with the chickpeas and take it out after. The chole comes out dark, the way the dhaba makes it.

Goes well with: Shan Channa Chat Masala, Heera Amchoor Powder, Heera Ginger Garlic Puree
