What it is

Heera is the main brand of Bradford-based P&B (Foods) Ltd, which describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods in Britain and Europe. Roasted gram is Bengal gram dry-roasted until crisp; this is the whole, unsplit kind, in a larger bag.

It has a firm crunch and a dry, toasty taste, good by the handful with tea or tossed with salt and chilli powder. Choosing between roasted gram? Whole for snacking; Heera Roasted Dariya Split 300g for chutney and podi; Heera Pink Peanuts 1kg for a richer evening nibble.

Tip: Toss a bowlful with a few drops of oil, salt, chilli powder and chaat masala. That is the evening snack sorted.
