Heera Corn Flour 500g - Cornflour for Thickening & Crispy Coating

Heera Corn Flour 500g – Fine Cornflour for Thickening & Coating

Heera Corn Flour 500g is a fine, silky white cornflour — the kitchen staple that turns a thin sauce glossy, keeps a batter crisp and gives Indo-Chinese dishes their signature coating.

It has almost no taste of its own, so it does its job quietly in both savoury and sweet cooking, from chilli chicken to a homemade custard.

What Is Cornflour?

In British and South Asian kitchens, cornflour means the fine white starch extracted from maize — often called corn starch elsewhere. It is not the same as yellow makki ka atta, the coarser whole-maize flour used for makki di roti.

Because it is almost pure starch, a small spoonful thickens a lot of liquid, and it fries up lighter and crisper than wheat flour.

Perfect for Everyday Cooking

A 500g pack goes a long way. Popular uses include:

• Thickening soups, gravies and stir-fry sauces
• Coating for chilli chicken, gobi manchurian and chilli paneer
• Adding crunch to pakora and bhaji batters
• Binding kebabs, tikkis and vegetable cutlets
• Setting custards, puddings and fruit fillings
• Lightening cakes and shortbread when mixed with plain flour

How to Use It

To thicken, always mix cornflour with a little cold water first to make a smooth slurry, then stir it into the simmering dish. Adding it dry to hot liquid makes lumps.

Let the sauce bubble for a minute after adding — cornflour only reaches full thickness once it has come to the boil, and the cloudy look turns clear and glossy.

A Pantry Essential in Sweden

For South Asian families in Stockholm and across Sweden, Heera is a familiar name on the spice and flour shelf, and a bag of cornflour is one of those things every kitchen runs out of at the wrong moment.

It is equally at home in Swedish cooking — for thickening a sauce or setting a berry kräm.

Why Choose Heera Corn Flour 500g?

• Fine, smooth white cornflour
• Neutral taste for savoury and sweet dishes
• Crisp, light coating for frying
• Thickens quickly with a cold-water slurry

Cooking Suggestions

For restaurant-style chilli paneer, toss the paneer cubes in a mix of two parts cornflour to one part plain flour with salt and pepper before shallow-frying. Use about one tablespoon of cornflour per 250ml of liquid for a medium-thick gravy.
