Your recipies sound great, unfortunately I am not much of a cook myself and some of your ingredients I have never heard of. I do not know what Asafoetida is? Is this a herb of some kind?
ReplyDeleteHiii there :).. Yes it is a herb used extensively in Indian cooking... this is generally available as a sticky bar or in powdered form. It has a pungent garlic smell, but when cooked with dishes, gives a sweet aroma..Its also called Hing or kaayam...if you know any of these... You should be able to find this in any Indian store...
