    This recipe sounds wonderful. I will certainly try it. The last time I had hing, I wrapped it inside two plastic bags, then put it in a jar with a tight lid--and the smell still escaped!

    Asafoetida or Hing- can be bought from Indian grocery stores near by. It actually means, 'Smelly gum'. It is a tree sap. Its near to original is sold in blocks. In order to maintain its powder form they add. wheat flour and other additives. It is one of the main ingredients in Indian cooking, especially South Indian cooking.
    It had medicinal properties. It helps with digestion. We drink a mixture w/ a pinch of hing powder mixed w/ buttermilk to easy tummy aches.
    NOTE: It is smelly, so don't dare smell it if you are weak at heart! LOL!
