Instead of Asafoetida chunk
Pure asafoetida rock has an intense, resinous concentration that commercial compounded powders cannot fully match.
AsafoetidaUse double the weight of compounded powder. Add straight into medium-hot fat; do not dissolve in water first, and take care not to burn it.
Garlic pasteUse 4 times the weight. Fry gently in ghee or oil; delivers savoury depth but lacks the resinous, intense pungency of rock asafoetida.
