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 in Britain and Europe. Pottukadalai is Bengal gram that has been roasted and split, so it is ready to eat straight from the pack.

It is pale yellow, crunchy and mild, with a light roasted taste. A small handful ground into coconut chutney thickens it and stops it separating on the plate. Choosing between roasted gram? Split for chutney and podi; Heera Roasted Dariya Whole Gota 700g for snacking; Heera Roasted Dariya Split 700g if you go through a lot.

Tip: For four people's chutney, use 2 tbsp pottukadalai to half a cup of coconut, and grind them together, not one after the other.

Goes well with: Heera Desiccated Coconut Fine, Heera Curry Leaves, Heera Idli Rice
