Asafoetida powder, also known as Hing, is a crucial ingredient in Indian vegetarian cooking and for cooking lentils and vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage as it imparts a very satisfying, robust taste. Aasafoetida has a unique smell and flavor. In cooking it mellows out and produces a flavor similar to onion and garlic. In India this ingredient is crucial for the Jains, who do not eat garlic. Contains asafoetida microfine powder, wheat and rice flour, gum arabic.
- Powerful flavor use sparingly.
- Asafetida should always be fried. No, you should not add while the food is being cooked. It needs to be fried in little oil for a few seconds for the resin to dissolve in the fat.
- Use a pinch in your vegetables and in lentils, beans, sauces, papads and pickles.
-Add oil in the pan and fry the asafetida in oil or dry roast it. You may fry it along with cumin seeds and or mustard seeds in Indian foods.
- Asafoetida is known as an antidote for flatulence and is also prescribed for respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis and whooping cough.

The Ajika Spice System:
1. The size of Ajika bottles is organized as to the extent of useage of the spice. Larger bottles for spices that are used in larger quantities and medium bottles for spices used in medium quantities and small bottles for spices used in small quantities.
2.The bottles have a wide mouth, so they may be opened and displayed on the cooking counter before cooking and a spoon may be used for the spices. When oil is sizzling, you need to add spices fast. The traditional small mouth tall jar storage system is too difficult to manage when quick decisions need to be made. With the traditional system one lands up putting the spice in the caps and having the steam from cooking destroy the essence of spices.
