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. These are shelled walnut kernels, ready to use with no cracking.

They are soft-crunchy, a little bitter at the papery skin, and buttery once toasted. In Indian kitchens they go into akhrot halwa, date laddu and the Christmas cake. Choosing between nuts? Walnuts for cakes, brownies and halwa; Heera Almonds 100g for badam milk and soaking; Heera Cashew Nuts 250g for payasam and rich gravies.

Tip: Toast them in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes before chopping. The skin loses its bitterness and the whole kitchen smells of butter.

Goes well with: Heera Almonds, Heera Golden Sultana, Heera Phool Makhana 100g
