Homemade Asafoetida Recipe - How to Make Hing at Home with step wise pictures,
This homemade version of asafoetida is so much stronger and it has much more aroma than regular store bought powdered ones. This is easy to make and is much healthier.
I always find that store bought asafoetida powder is not as strong. Its aroma and flavour gets reduced as it stays on the pantry shelf. Homemade asafoetida powder is easy to make and its flavour is so good. Once you start using this, then you will never go back to store bought ones.

How to purchase asafoetida in india.
wm pettigrew
where do I buy a "bar" of asafoetida?
Aarthi
You can look in indian super markets
Jacob
I burnt my hing doing exactly as you said. Now my house reaks horribly and and it is super hard to breath. Your instructions are terrible!!!

Where can I get asofoetida bar? Is this thing made from onions?
Aarthi
asafoetida is actually a gum like stuff obtained from trees. You can find it in indian super markets.
Naman Trivedi
Let me get some misconceptions clear,
The bar and powder or any form that you get in the market are compounded version,
When i say compounded it means it has a base and only 7 to 10% of its base product is hing.
Hing as a raw product is expensive product and is never availble in retail market.
When i say expensive, it is around 20 to 25k per kg 🙂 So it can be a pure bar or block only if its sold at around 2500 RS per 100 gm 🙂
The raw material is resin/gum extracted from a stem of hing plant, the same resin is not directly fit for human consumption as its very strong and hence its compounded for human use.
