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 bag holds its phool makhana: puffed lotus seeds, plain and unseasoned.

Raw, they are light and a little chewy. Roasted in ghee they turn crisp and nutty, and simmered in milk they soften into makhana kheer, a regular on fasting days. Choosing between makhana? Plain Heera makhana to roast and season yourself; Swaad Makhana Salt & Pepper for ready to eat; Swaad Makhana Peri Peri when you want some heat.

Tip: Roast on the lowest flame for 8–10 minutes. Press one between your fingers; it should snap, not squash.

Goes well with: Heera Butter Ghee, Heera Green Cardamon, Heera Spanish Saffron
