Pairs with Veggies

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.
