Fragrant ferula with fenugreek Asafetida, ground, Classic Ayurveda, 70 g

The fragrant ferula (also called Asafetida) has a pungent, unique taste and bright aroma, so even a small pinch of it will give your dishes a unique aroma.

It is especially noticeable after frying it in heated ghee or oil. Roasted with other spices, it is perfect for seasoning lentil soups, vegetable dishes and spicy fruit sauces.

In Lithuania, a mixture of asafetide with rice flour and turmeric is most commonly used. If you use net - put it in half less. The aroma of asfetida resembles, on the one hand, a fermented cheese with a strong aroma, perhaps a bit of black truffle, on the other hand, an onion and a garlic. The aroma of asphetide is close to the onion family due to its sulfur compounds, ie the same essential oils as well as asafetides are characteristic di-, tri- and tetrasulphides.

The presence of asphetide in food mimics eggs, garlic, onions, meat, truffles (mushrooms). Assafetide is usually used in very small quantities to give cheesy, spicy and sometimes sweet dishes a distinctive spicy aroma. When preparing with asafetide, take some of its powder and fry for a few seconds in hot fat along with other spices before adding to the dish. Add asafetide to legumes and potatoes, rice, mixed vegetable dishes, fried snacks. Since the aroma of pure asaphetide, not mixed with rice flour, is much sharper and more intense than that sold in a flour mixture, use it for half a meal.

Asafetide is widely used in India. It is an essential food ingredient, and harder to digest dishes such as legumes or potatoes should always be prepared with it. Asphetide has a sharp and hot taste, it increases appetite, ignites digestive fire, tones, the use of asafetide in food prevents the accumulation of gas in the intestine - meteorism, and facilitates the digestion of food.

Ayurveda asafetides have the strongest antimicrobial and bactericidal properties.

This Southeast Asian spice is a must have in every kitchen. It is mainly used in combination with ginger, cardamom and rock salt. It is available as a powder or paste.

Due to its strong garlic smell, it is best to store asafetide in an airtight, closed container. Unlike garlic, it does not have a tamas (blurring) effect on the mind and feelings. According to Ayurveda, asafetida enhances agni (digestive fire) and soothes Vata dosha (air / ether element).

According to Ayurveda, fenugreek strengthens agni (digestive fire) without stimulating Pita dosha (fire / water element). Fenugreek seeds have a slightly bitter taste and should not be used during pregnancy.
