Good to know
- Hing smells strong when raw but turns mellow and savoury, a bit like onion and garlic, once it hits hot ghee or oil. Add a small pinch with jeera at the start of the tadka; it needs only a few seconds.
- A pinch adds depth to food cooked without onion or garlic, as in Jain or vrat cooking.
- Many packaged hing powders are compounded: the resin is mixed with flour, often wheat. Read the label if you avoid gluten.
