Cosmoveda Asafoetida Fair Trade, 33 g

Dive into the fascinating world of Indian spices and add a special depth of flavour to your dishes with asafoetida, the resin of a plant native to Pakistan. If you're new to it, raw asafoetida may startle your palate with its intense, sulphurous odour at first, but when gently fried in hot oil or fat, it develops a wonderfully hearty umami aroma. The robust resin is ground with fine fenugreek in this blend, making it easy to use in cooking. In traditional Ayurvedic cuisine, this spice is highly valued for its pungent, bitter taste and warming qualities, helping to bring greater harmony to dishes such as lentil-based recipes.
