Amongst all the seasonings and mixes we use for Indian cooking, there is one spice that we only use a pinch of! Asafoetida is one that is recognised even by Ayurveda for its healing and flavour enhancing properties. Lg or Lalgee Godhoo and Company has taken this spice and packaged it for use in your kitchen!

Asafoetida or Hing has a strong odour which envelopes a dish and makes it even more aromatic and appetising. This powder contains resin, volatile oil extract, ash and endogenous gum. These ingredients give this powder a texture and taste that is distinct.

Hing or Asafoetida is known to aid the digestive system for better digestion. It can be used as a part of the seasoning and should be the first thing that you add to the oil so that what remains is merely a pleasant odour. It is ideal for Indian dishes.
