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 is their Spanish saffron: the dried red threads of the saffron crocus, sold by the gram.

A few strands soaked in warm milk turn it gold and give sweets and biryani that soft, honeyed smell. It is the thing kept back for special days. Choosing between? Saffron for colour and that gentle smell, green cardamom for the classic sweet-shop note, and the two together in payasam.

Tip: Crush the strands lightly between your fingers before soaking. The milk turns gold in half the time.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Roasted Rava, Swaad Green Cardamom, Heera Cashew Nuts
