The commonest hing,
This review is from: Vandevi Hing (Asafoetida) 100g (3.5oz) - Pack of 2 (Misc.)
Unfortunately, this is the only asafoetida (hing) that is readily available in the US. It is preground and mixed with edible adulterants to make it easier to handle. Unfortunately, due to this processing, the quality is not high. While it will certainly work for your recipe, it is nowhere as good as the chunks of pure sap that are harder to find in the US. Search out the good stuff if you know a reputable spice merchant.If you're in NYC, I've found better quality hing at Dual Specialty Store in the East Village. It's still not as good as the super stinky chunks of Afghani asafoetida that I picked up in Varanasi, but it will do.

Great Spice,
By Shirley Guppy (Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vandevi Hing (Asafoetida) 100g (3.5oz) - Pack of 2 (Misc.)
I had never had this stuff before. It stinks, so I keep it double bagged and it's fine. When you cook it in a pan with oil, it smells much better and tastes delicious. It's really easy to use, I think it adds a lot to dishes like rice or vegetables, but it could be used with anything. It has sort of an onion-like flavor, but way better. I'll never go without this spice again.

Since there wasn't any ingredient listing, I didn't know I couldn't use it until it arrived. I am gluten free...sorry!
