Laljee Godhoo Hing (Asafoetida) 50gms

I use this asafoetida in almost all my Indian cooking and it has become an essential spice in my kitchen. The aroma is strong and pungent when raw but transforms into a rich, savory flavor once cooked, enhancing dals, curries, and tempering perfectly. The quality of this brand is excellent. The powder is finely ground and does not clump, making it easy to measure and use. A small pinch goes a long way because the flavor is very concentrated. The packaging keeps the spice fresh and easy to store. I also appreciate the generous 50 gram size because it lasts a long time without losing potency.

Doesn't smell like onions or garlic to me, it smells like blossoms from a curry tree (Bergera koenigii)

This is really good, buy some.

This is 100% asafoetida, if know anything about this herb. smells fresh, I have purchase this before from a near by international store. It last a little over a year. Once the smell is gone, it time to re-purchase. Yes I will buy this produce again, but this time from a black own business contributor.

Managed to keep the price low, only went up about 10% in about 2.5 years and same quality

This is the brand of asafoetida my family used throughout my childhood. For everyone saying it smells too strong - you are literally supposed to use a tiny, tiny pinch! Do not use it in the same quantities as onion or garlic powder. It’s kind of your fault if you can’t follow simple instructions in a recipe.
