Asafoetida
£1.29

With a pungent scent of onion or sulphur, asafoetida is often used as a substitute for onion or garlic and complements many diverse dishes (despite the pungent scent!). A variety of fennel, asafoetida is harvested from the sap and allowed to dry into hard resinous clumps then ground with gum arabic, rice flour and turmeric to create a more usable powder form.

INGREDIENTS: asafoetida, gum arabic, rice flour and turmeric
Uses

Use as a garlic substitute by adding a small pinch to the oil at the start of cooking. Use in dahl, rasams or pulse curries as it aids digestion, also widely used in vegetable curries.

Delicious, and gorgeous new boxes but they don't fit in my letterbox...so if Im not in it could be problem and I might have to cancel my sub. They are too long! the old ones were much smaller.And still fitted everything in.

Recent purchase arrived wonderfully quickly, which was good as I needed black sesame seeds for a very fiddly canapé and could not find them in any shops
