Kairusi Homemade Asafoetida Powder, known as hing or hing powder (also spelled asafotidea powder), is a compounded asafoetida for curries, dal, pickles and authentic South Indian dishes, packed in 25gm and 50gm jars. The jar label reads "Compounded Asafoetida Powder". It is made from asafoetida resin with 30% whole wheat atta, added for even consistency and to bring out the resin's natural flavour, using natural ingredients free of artificial additives and preservatives. A pinch in the tempering brings rich, earthy flavour to curries, a small quantity lifts a simple dal, and it deepens the tang of homemade pickles. Asafoetida aids digestion and stands in for onion and garlic, which makes it popular in vegetarian, vegan and sattvic cooking. Shelf life is 12 months. The white plastic jar has a white cap and a purple patterned label with a green-dot mark. Catalogue code: MAS0025 (25gm), MAS0050 (50gm)
