Asafoetida
Also called hing, heeng, asafetida
Pungent dried resin, sold as a powder cut with flour, that mellows in hot oil into a garlic-onion savouriness; essential in dal tadkas and Jain cooking.
What can replace it
- T2 · GoodGarlic powder
Gives a savoury allium note but not asafoetida's sulphurous, oniony depth. (use 2× the amount)
- T2 · GoodOnion powder
Sweeter and milder, without the pungent funk; combine with garlic powder. (use 2× the amount)
