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 whole coriander seeds, the dried fruit of the coriander plant, called malli or kothamalli vidhai in Tamil.

Pale brown and round, they crack easily and smell of orange peel and warm wood once roasted. That toasty smell is what home-made sambar podi and rasam podi are built on. Choosing between forms? Whole seeds for roasting and grinding fresh; Heera Coriander (Dhaniya) Powder 1kg for everyday gravies; Heera Coriander Whole 300g for bigger batches.

Tip: Roast on low heat until one seed cracks easily between your fingers, then turn off the flame straight away.

Goes well with: Heera Cumin (Jeera) Whole / Seeds, Heera Chilli Whole Long, Heera Methi Seeds / Fenugreek Seeds
