Indian cooking / Ingredients / Asafoetida

Asafoetida

spice

Asafoetida

Hing

2.8 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

Compounded hing powder density ~0.57 g/ml; 1 level tsp = 2.8 g

Instead of Asafoetida

Nothing truly matches asafoetida's distinct pungent, sulphurous aroma and lingering savoury depth.

Garlic powder
Use double the weight. Stir into hot oil just before adding wet ingredients; mimics the allium savoury background without the sulphurous edge.
Garlic paste
Use 2 g for every 0.5 g of asafoetida. Sauté in oil until the raw smell clears; adds moisture and sweet allium depth.
