What it is

Heera is the main brand of P&B (Foods) Ltd of Bradford, which describes itself as one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of Asian foods in Britain and Europe. Block tamarind is the pulp of the ripe tamarind pod pressed into a slab, with some fibre and seeds still in it.

It is dark, sticky and sharply sour, and one soaked ball gives the tang behind sambar, rasam and puli kuzhambu. Choosing between tamarind? Heera Tamarind for a small block; Sri Durga Tamarind Seedless 400g if you would rather skip the seeds; Sri Durga Tamarind Block 1Kg for kitchens that make kuzhambu daily.

Tip: Soak and strain enough for three or four days at once, and keep the extract in a covered jar in the fridge.

Goes well with: 777 Madras Rasam Powder, Heera Toor Dal Plain, Heera Methi Seeds / Fenugreek Seeds
