Asafetida (Hing, Asafoetida)

Asafetida comes from parsley family (Apiaceae). It has a very strong repugnant smell. Dried asafetida consists mostly of a resin. The resin (pure form) should be fried in hot oil. This changes the taste to a more pleasant impression. Use less tahn a pea-sized amount to flavour a dish for 5 people. The powdered asafetida (asafetida powder) is the resin mixed with rice flour and therefore much less strong in flavor, but more easy in using.

It is a popular spice in India and Persia. It was popular in Europe in the Middle Ages to flavour barbecued mutton.
