## Overview

Laljee Godhoo Hing is a premium 50g microfine asafoetida powder derived from giant fennel, renowned for its potent aroma and unique flavor that mellows into a savory onion-garlic substitute when cooked. Essential in Indian vegetarian and Jain cuisine, it enhances digestibility and adds depth to dals, curries, and vegetable dishes. Packaged to maintain freshness, this finely ground spice is a must-have for authentic, flavorful cooking.

## Description

Also known in India as Hing. Derived from a species of giant fennel, asafoetida has a unique smell and flavor. It is called for often in Indian cooking, primarily with legumes and dishes featuring vegetables such as cauliflower. While on its own, the smell may strike you as overpowering and somewhat unpleasant, in cooking it mellows out and produces a result similar to onion and garlic. In India this ingredient is crucial for the Jains, who do not eat root crops. Contains asafoetida microfine powder, wheat and rice flour, gum arabic. This authentic Asafoetida, or Indian Hing, is very popular throughout the world. Use sparingly, as this spice has a strong flavor and aroma. Asafoetida makes Indian and other dishes easier to digest.

Review: It is a must-have - I use this asafoetida in almost all my Indian cooking and it has become an essential spice in my kitchen. The aroma is strong and pungent when raw but transforms into a rich, savory flavor once cooked, enhancing dals, curries, and tempering perfectly. The quality of this brand is excellent. The powder is finely ground and does not clump, making it easy to measure and use. A small pinch goes a long way because the flavor is very concentrated. The packaging keeps the spice fresh and easy to store. I also appreciate the generous 50 gram size because it lasts a long time without losing potency.
