I'm going to have to read that. Thanks.

Sad to report, "Top-op whole asafoetida (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151210707190?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)" is not what it claims to be. The contents include wheat flour and edible gum as well as asafoetida, the last also being last on the list of ingredients (and therefore the minority ingredient).

PHIL Asofoetida
I put this link in Lamb basanti thread

Thank you. Approximately

Worth the money lasts for ever 1/2 tsp grated into some oil added to the base in the last half hour issues a pleasant Bir aroma
Another 1st for this site ;D

I will be very pleasantly surprised if this is "THE AROMA". Might involve a bit of looking around down here. I've only ever seen the powdered form.

I'd be very surprised if asafoetida is used widely in BIR/TAs. But who knows; I certainly feel it gives a TA flavour at times. I'd be wary of using it in a base and rather add a little to certain dishes :)
-
I remember reading somewhere that a pinch of it in an onion bhaji mix is meant to help prevent flatulance
-
With the number of people living in India all eating onion bhajis, you'd hope it works.

Fair point.

They would be better to ban Asafoetida and install a load of wind turbines.

As with lots of things on the internet, the original link is now dead. I have found it under another link: https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200904/devil.s.dung-the.world.s.smelliest.spice.htm (https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200904/devil.s.dung-the.world.s.smelliest.spice.htm) Perhaps the mods can edit the original post if Dal Puri is no longer active?
It is an interesting read, but while I have a jar of Schwartz powder version, I rarely use it due to the lingering, stench, which seems to last for days and permeates the whole house.

Its pronounced Asafarteda :)

Fart being the operative word. ;D ;D
