I can’t wait to try your recipe. I’ve been cooking Indian food a little over a year now and am always looking for recipe variations — as well as trying some of my own.

Love your blog! I lurk here often….

Hi Fuad!

Thanks for stopping by :o)! Asafoetida is known as Hing in hindi and is often used in tempering of Dals in north India.
