Strong aroma but adds great depth to curries and lentil dishes. A little goes a long way, making it good value in the long run.

This was on sale in Woolworths so I decided to try it. It is a vegan substitute for garlic. It is really good in Indian style cooking with vegetables

This hing powder has a strong, authentic aroma and adds a deep, savory flavor to dishes even in very small amounts. The texture is fine and easy to mix into cooking, especially for curries, lentils, and vegetable dishes. A little goes a long way, making it a great addition for anyone who enjoys bold, traditional seasoning.

Be warned, this stuff is stinkyyyy! But it does make for a great substitution for garlic or onion if you’re sensitive. Works best if you place a few shakes into some heated oil - this helps to release the flavour. Can sometimes be tricky to find, but when you do it lasts for ages. Tip: once open, place in a glass jar so you don’t stink out your pantry.

I recently learned how to make Indian samosas, which we love in our household. The recipe had substitutions for the Indian spices that aren't readily available, but for the next time I made them I wanted to have the proper spices, so l ordered them online from a specialist spice shop. One ingredient in the filling is asafoetida, also known as hing. It's a wonderful yellow colour and it’s very tasty.
