Asafoetida, aka Hing, is an essential Indian cooking spice. Asafoetida provides a savory umami flavor that mimics the taste of onions and garlic, making it a suitable substitute for those avoiding alliums.It has a distinctive, pungent flavor that can be used to add an aromatic and savory note to dishes.
Asafoetida is typically added to hot oil or ghee to release its flavor. A pinch or dash is all you need to flavor lentil dishes, vegetable curries, pickles and other savory dishes. Additionally, it's believed to aid digestion and is sometimes used in herbal medicine for its purported health benefits.
While Asafoetida is known for its pungent aroma in its raw state, give it a chance! Once cooked, Asafoetida transforms into a rich, savory, umami flavor explosion. It's like the most wonderful combination of onion and garlic. Asafoetida is a staple in Indian cooking, and a little goes a long way.
