1. What is RamBandhu Asafoetida (Hing) made from?
It is made from the dried resin of the Ferula plant, a natural gum that’s milled into fine powder. RamBandhu compounds it with flour for convenient everyday cooking.

Add a small pinch to hot ghee or oil at the start of cooking. It enhances the flavour of dal tadka, curries, and vegetable dishes with a warm, savoury aroma.

Regular Hing has a bold, spicier aroma suited for robust curries, while Kabuli Hing is stronger but smoother flavour, ideal for lighter or fasting dishes.

Compounded Hing may contain a small amount of wheat flour. For gluten-free cooking, choose pure asafoetida variants that list no added flour.

Keep in a tightly sealed jar away from moisture and direct sunlight. Hing retains aroma best when stored in a cool, dry pantry.
