Asafoetida (sometimes spelled Asafetida)...A Little History! Native to Southwestern Asia. A little known spice outside of India, asafoetida is the dried resin obtained from the rhizome of the giant fennel plant. Powdered asafoetida has a strong odor, reminiscent of picked garlic. In most Indian cooking it is used as a flavour enhancer and once cooked releases an onion-like flavour. It is also known as devil's dung, asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hing, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting. Asafoetida is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment, and in pickling. It typically works as a flavour enhancer and, used along with turmeric, is a standard component of Indian cuisine, particularly in lentil curries such as dal, sambar as well as in numerous vegetable dishes. It is sometimes used to harmonize sweet, sour, salty, and spicy components in food. Asafoetida is considered a digestive in that it reduces flatulence.
