Also known as hing, this staple of Northern Indian and vegetarian cooking is often used as a substitute for garlic and onion. It has a strong, pungent aroma but its flavor is mellow when cooked.

When paired with turmeric, Asafoetida powder lends a leek-like flavor to dal soup, potatoes, or cauliflower dishes. Learn more about Asafoetida Powder on our blog.

Asafoetida powder is often called for in Indian recipes, primarily in dishes with legumes and vegetables like cauliflower. While on its own the smell may strike you as overpowering, it mellows out during cooking and produces a flavor similar to onion and garlic.

Dahl Soup

I created this recipe while trying to copy the soup I love at an area restaurant, which was a little too far away to visit frequently. It's not exactly like theirs, but it's very tasty.

Asafoetida

A MUST for Acid Watcher dieters...

I was recently told I had to stay on the Acid Watcher diet. This means no onions or garlic - key ingredients to so many savory dishes. The diet author, Dr. Aviv, recommended using Asafoetida to replace that onion and garlic flavor. It works! Just remember that in order to achieve those flavors, Asafoetida must be cooked in hot oil or ghee before adding it to whatever you're making. When it hits the hot oil, the spice transforms from a not-so-pleasant smell to the aromatic scent, and taste, of the perfect blend of onion and garlic. Acid Watchers aren't supposed to use butter, so I use small amounts of olive or avocado oil with my Asafoetida. In fact, Asafoetida works beautifully for seasoning the olive oil that I use for my Acid Watcher pizza Margarita. No more bland food now that I've found Asafoetida! I'll definitely stay stocked up on this unique and flavorful spice!
