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 the UK and Europe.

This is roasted chana, split: pale, dry and crunchy, ready to eat from the bag. In Tamil kitchens a handful goes into coconut chutney to thicken it and into podi for body, and children eat it by the fistful. Choosing between roasted grams? This split daria for chutney and podi; Annam Daria 1kg (Pottukadalai) for a bigger bag; whole roasted chana with skins for snacking.

Tip: Add a tablespoon to coconut chutney before grinding. It thickens it and stops it turning watery in the fridge.

Goes well with: Heera Desiccated Coconut Fine, Heera Black Mustard Seeds, Heera Curry Leaves
