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 medium poha, flattened rice in the middle thickness.

Medium is the all-rounder. A quick rinse softens it in minutes, and it stays in separate flakes for kanda poha or aval upma instead of turning to paste. Choosing between poha? Medium for everyday poha and upma; Heera Thin Powa for chivda and sweet aval; Heera Thick Powa for flakes that hold up to longer cooking.

Tip: Rinse in a colander, never a bowl of water. Tip it into the pan once a flake squashes easily between two fingers.

Goes well with: Heera Pink Peanuts, Heera Curry Leaves, Chitale Bandhu Shev
