      Make it a snack break

      Great together for a tastier snack time

      Bundle total: £4.49

      Heera Alu Bukhara are dried plums, dark and wrinkled, with a sweet and tangy taste that is quite different from the softer prunes sold for breakfast. In North Indian and Mughlai cooking they bring a gentle fruity sourness to rich rice and meat dishes, and they are a classic in festive chutneys. The 200g bag goes a long way, as only a few are needed in each dish.

      How to use it

      Soak the plums in warm water for twenty minutes, then remove the stones if you prefer. For alu bukhara chutney, simmer them with jaggery or sugar, a pinch of salt, roasted cumin and chilli until thick and jammy, and serve with samosa, kachori or the festive thali. Add a few whole plums to biryani, pulao or korma for small bursts of sweet and sour, or nibble them as they are with other dry fruits during Diwali.
