An amber colored resin extracted from the root or stem of a perennial plant, Hing plays many roles in many cultures. Hing has been widely used in ancient Persia, Greece, Africa and India.
Hing is used to soothing stomach ailments, in cuisines, its pungent and strong aroma is put to good use as a replacement for onion and garlic. It gives off a smooth and robust flavour when released in hot oil.
Today it is more commonly available in compounded forms.

A strongly aromatic spice, used in India for legumes, pickles, vegetable mixtures and as a substitute for garlic in curry bases. Asafoetida has a strong aroma that is most reminiscent of garlic and onion. Asafoetida is always used at the beginning of cooking by briefly frying it in fat. This will get rid of the strong aroma, then you can continue with the preparation.
