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 pack is whole pattai, the curled bark that goes into almost every biryani and pulao.

The bark is hard and woody, with a sweet, warm smell that fills the kitchen the moment it hits hot ghee. A little goes a long way, which is why a 200 g pack lasts. Choosing between whole spices? Pattai for sweet warmth; cloves for a sharper, numbing bite; bay leaves for a softer background in the same pot.

Tip: Break the sticks into thumb-sized pieces before storing. One piece is plenty for a pot of rice.

Goes well with: Heera Cloves, Heera Bay Leaves, Chozha Seeraga Samba Rice
