Description

Profile: Hing (Asafoetida) is a spice that is extracted from Ferula Assa-Foetida; it is also known by a variety of other names in different sections of the country, including devil's dung, stinking gum, meal of the gods, and jowani badian.

Details: 

Hing is made from giant fennel resin found in Afghanistan and Iran. The resin can be left pure, but in America it's usually crushed up and blended with wheat.

That'd be strong and unpleasant. To maximize funk and temper bitterness, asafetida must be fried directly in fat (oil or ghee, usually). Use the flavoured water in your dish. Heeng gives a unique umami (one of the five basic flavors) or savouriness to your food.
