Ma'am, thanks again for your kind support on youtube the other day. I hope I may post another question.
When buying hing I turn to Afghan or Pakistani shops in town. They all offer the same product in a blue and yellow tin, branded Vandevi and manufactured in Mombai. I'm not happy with the ingredients list which says; Rice flour, gum arabic, asafoetida, turmeric, wheat flour. I.e it contains only a smaller part of asafoetida and I specifically wonder about the gum arabic.
I did some online research to find out about alternatives I could order online and found two.
The first is offered from a shop which specializes in organic spices and usually has a good reputation. Their own hing blend contains powdered fenugreek seeds to prevent it from clustering - the ratio is not mentioned on their website but I can ask them. Will the taste of fenugreek disturb in some recipes?
The other one is branded by Farmer's grain and the label says "product of India". Ingredients list: Asafoetida, gum arabic, wheat flour. So the main ingredient is asafoetida and it should come closest to the hing flavour. Although it again contains gum arabic.
Which one would you recommend?
Sincerely yours
Nat
