Vandevi Hing Powder Yellow 200gms

Vandevi Hing Powder Yellow 200g is a pack of high-quality asafoetida powder, a crucial spice in Indian cuisine. Asafoetida, known as "hing" in Hindi, is a dried latex (gum oleoresin) extracted from the roots of several species of Ferula, a perennial herb. It is widely used as a flavor enhancer and is particularly valued for its strong, pungent aroma, which mellows into a savory, umami-like flavor when cooked.

The yellow color of this hing powder comes from the addition of turmeric, which is commonly mixed with asafoetida to enhance its color and health benefits. Vandevi is a well-known brand for hing, and their product is trusted for its potency and purity.

This 200g pack is ideal for households that frequently use hing in their cooking. It is commonly used in a variety of Indian dishes, such as:

- **Tadka (tempering):** Hing is often added to hot oil along with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and other spices to create a flavorful base for dals (lentil soups) and curries.
- **Curries and Gravies:** A pinch of hing can enhance the flavor of vegetable curries, pulses, and even pickles.
- **Snacks:** It's also used in the preparation of various Indian snacks like samosas, pakoras, and kachoris.

Hing is known not only for its flavor but also for its digestive properties, often being used as a remedy for gas and bloating. Given its strong flavor, only a small amount is needed in recipes, making this 200g pack long-lasting and a great addition to any spice cabinet.
