JK Masale Premium Crystal Hing Granules 40 g

Asafoetida is the new superfood you didn’t know you needed in your kitchen! Don’t be fooled by its strong smell, a tiny pinch added to hot oil creates a mouth-watering flavour reminiscent of leeks. Asafoetida has been prized in Indian vegetarian and vegan cuisine for millennia because of its umami-boosting properties. It pairs very well with turmeric, and will be a great addition to lentils, stews, and stir frys. It is also a mainstay of the kitchens run by ISKCON, so if you follow a lacto-vegetarian diet, consider adding asafetida to your spice rack. If you’re Kashmiri, asafetida is no stranger to you – rogan josh, rista, aloo dum – all of these have hing as a star player! It will spice up your sambar and your curd rice as well. Asafetida is also known to reduce flatulence and improve digestion, so add a tiny pinch to your Brussels sprouts (or any other dish that uses pulses and legumes), and say goodbye to any discomfort! Asafetida is also used in Iranian, Egyptian and Afghani cooking, making it a truly diverse kitchen ingredient. JK Masale’s Asafetida powder is specially packed to retain freshness, and will create many healthy and memorable dishes in your kitchen!
