What it is

Heera is the main brand of P&B (Foods) Ltd, a Bradford-based company that describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods across Britain and Europe. This is its ground Kashmiri chilli in the big kilo bag.

Kashmiri chilli is the one used for colour: it turns a gravy bright red while keeping the heat mild. It is what gives tandoori chicken and butter masala their look without making children cry. Choosing between chilli powders? Kashmiri for colour; Heera Chilli Powder for proper heat; 777 Kulambu Chilly Powder for Tamil kuzhambu.

Tip: Bloom it in warm oil off the heat for a few seconds. The colour turns deep red instead of scorching brown.

Goes well with: Heera Ginger Garlic Puree, 777 Tandoori Chicken Masala, Heera Kasoori Methi (Methi Leaves)
