Asafoetida

Sugabogam Asafoetida (Hing / Perungayam) is the secret ingredient that transforms Indian vegetarian cooking. Just a pinch of this intensely pungent, sulphurous spice added to hot oil unlocks a deeply savoury, almost meaty umami flavour that is uniquely Indian. Equally celebrated in Ayurveda as one of the most effective digestive remedies.
