Asafoetida (Hing) 50g

Asafoetida, commonly known as hing, is a strong-smelling spice powder widely used in Indian and South Asian cooking. A small pinch is typically added to hot oil at the start of tempering, known as tadka, before other spices go in, giving dals, curries, and vegetable dishes a distinctive savoury depth.

Hing is especially popular in vegetarian and lentil-based cooking, where it is often used in place of onion and garlic for flavour. It also pairs well with cumin, mustard seeds, and turmeric in everyday tempering for sabzis, sambar, and pickles.

This 50g pack is a practical size for home kitchens that use hing regularly in daily cooking. It suits shoppers looking for an authentic Indian pantry spice and is available for pickup or local delivery in Calgary through Desi Indian Market.
