Asafetida (Hing)
Dried and powdered tree resin, is an essential spice and is usually one of the first aromatics added to hot ghee or oil. Its raw, pungent smell mellows into a musky aroma, adding smooth, umami flavors to lentils, beans, and vegetarian curries. Just a pinch goes a long way. Hing often contains wheat flour, but gluten-free versions are also available.
