Ajmi ASAFOETIDA POWDER/ Hing

A staple of South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, Ajmi Asafoetida Powder (Hing) is a powerful aromatic spice that transforms dishes with just a pinch. Known for its pungent, savoury depth, hing mellows beautifully when cooked, adding a rich, onion-garlic-like flavour that is completely unique.

• Intensely aromatic with a warm, savoury depth of flavour
• Widely used in Indian dals, curries, pickles, and vegetable dishes
• A go-to spice for those avoiding onion and garlic — especially in Jain and Brahmin cooking
• Known for its digestive properties — traditionally used to reduce bloating and aid digestion
• A little goes a long way — just a small pinch is enough to flavour an entire dish
• Ajmi quality — pure, finely ground, and full of flavour

How to use: Add a tiny pinch to hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking to bloom the flavour before adding other ingredients.
