Description
Asafoetida, or hing, is a pungent, aromatic spice used in Indian cooking to bring a deep, savoury note to a range of dishes. Its fragrance and flavour are particularly bold, so it is usually added in small quantities. This 100g pack is a useful store-cupboard ingredient for everyday meals and traditional recipes alike.
How to use
Add a pinch to hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking to release its aroma, then continue with your other ingredients. Asafoetida works well in the tempering for dals and curries, and can also be used in vegetable dishes and pickles. Adjust the amount to suit your recipe and taste, especially if you are new to cooking with hing. Keep it close at hand for an easy way to add a characteristic flavour to home-cooked Indian dishes.
