Description
Asafetida (sometimes spelled Asafoetida)…A Little
History! Native to Southwestern Asia. A little known spice outside of India,
asafetida is the dried resin obtained from the rhizome of the giant fennel
plant. Powdered asafetida has a strong odor, reminiscent of picked garlic. In
most Indian cooking it is used as a flavor enhancer and once cooked releases
an onion-like flavor. It is also known as devil’s dung, asant, food of the
gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hing, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting.
Asafetida is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment, and in pickling.
It typically works as a flavour enhancer and, used along with turmeric, is a
standard component of Indian cuisine, particularly in lentil curries such as
dal, sambar as well as in numerous vegetable dishes. It is sometimes used to
harmonize sweet, sour, salty, and spicy components in food. Asafoetida is
considered a digestive in that it reduces flatulence. Strong Aroma? YES!
Asafetida has the strongest aroma of any spice… so much so it requires a
binding agent just to make it usable! The strong smell is normal – in fact, it
represents how fresh/potent it is. If this is your first time using it, try
cooking a small portion (perhaps start with 1/8 tsp) in a bit of oil to get a
feel for the strength and aroma this spice provides. Read more Rani’s
