Asafoetida spice mix
This spice mixture has the taste (Rasa) bitter, spicy, sweet. Asafoetida (Asa Foetida, Hing, Stinkasant) is a resin that requires a base substance in ground form, which is why it is often combined with fenugreek seeds. Asafoetida should not be missing in any kitchen.
Because of its garlic-like smell, which dissipates during cooking, it is advisable to use asafoetida sparingly and store it in an airtight container. According to Ayurveda, Asafoetida strengthens Agni and balances Vata and Kapha. It is ideal for preparing legumes, potato and curry dishes.
