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 small 100 g bag holds whole fenugreek seeds.

Hard, amber and bitter on their own, they soften into something nutty when fried or soaked. A spoonful in idli and dosai batter gives colour and a gentle crispness, and a pinch in sambar tempering rounds out the tamarind. Choosing between methi? Seeds for batter and tempering; Heera Kasoori Methi for butter masala; Swaad Fenugreek Seeds (Methi) as another 100 g option.

Tip: For vendhaya dosai, soak 2 tbsp methi with 1 cup of rice overnight. The batter rises faster and the dosais come out spongy.

Goes well with: Heera Urad Gota, Heera Idli Rice, LG Asafoetida (Hing) Cake
