Hello, what are asafoetida and jaggery powder? thanks for the post.


Jaggery is unrefined coarse sugar
and well asafoetida I don't know what else to call it...see thats its english name..but even if u dont add it its fine..its just for better digestion..personally i hate it...


This sounds wonderful I have the asafoetida seasoning the turmeric and fenugreek too.
