What it is

Heera is the main brand of P&B (Foods) Ltd, a Bradford-based company that calls itself one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods in Britain and Europe. This is fine desiccated coconut: coconut flesh grated small and dried, so it keeps in the cupboard.

It is drier than fresh thengai and very fine, so it melts into sweets and toasts evenly. Soak it briefly and it grinds into chutney or a kurma paste. Choosing a coconut product? This for burfi, laddu and quick chutney; KTC Coconut Oil 500ml for Kerala tadka and frying; A2B Soan Papdi Coconut if you would rather buy the sweet ready-made.

Tip: For chutney, soak 4 tbsp in warm water for 10 minutes before grinding. It comes surprisingly close to fresh.

Goes well with: Heera Roasted Dariya Split, Sri Durga Jaggery Powder (Yellow), Heera Curry Leaves
