Heera Whole Dry Ginger is ginger root dried whole until it is hard, pale and fibrous, the spice called sonth or saunth in Hindi and chukku in South India. Drying turns ginger's fresh zing into a deeper, warmer and more pungent heat. Whole pieces keep their aroma far longer than ready-ground powder, and the 300g bag is plenty for a season of chai, masalas and sweets.
How to use it
Break the pieces with a pestle, then grind them to a fine powder in a spice grinder and sieve out the fibres. Add a pinch of the powder to masala chai with cardamom and black pepper, or to the classic sonth chutney with tamarind and jaggery that goes over chaat. Ground sonth is stirred into panjiri, gond ladoos and dry fruit sweets made for winter, and it seasons aloo dishes and kadhi. Grind small batches and keep the powder in a sealed jar.
