Perungayam (Asafoetida) – Pure Hing Powder

Perungayam, also known as Asafoetida or Hing, is a gum-resin obtained from the roots of the Ferula plant, traditionally used in Indian kitchens for its distinctive aroma and flavor. This potent spice has played a vital role in cooking and traditional culinary practices for centuries.

About the Plant:

The Ferula plant grows in arid regions and produces a resin that is dried and ground into powder. Asafoetida has a strong, pungent smell and a slightly bitter taste, but when cooked, it delivers a rich umami flavor that enhances a variety of dishes

Culinary Uses:

Perungayam is a staple in many South Indian and Ayurvedic-inspired recipes. A pinch of this spice is typically used in tempering dals, curries, and vegetable stir-fries. It pairs especially well with legumes and pulses.

Traditional Significance:

In many households, Perungayam is used as a flavor enhancer, especially in recipes that include lentils, beans, or other ingredients known to produce heaviness in the stomach. Its deep aromatic profile also makes it a key ingredient in pickles, rasam, and sambar.

How to Use:

• Add a pinch to hot oil or ghee before cooking.
• Use as part of spice blends or tempering (tadka).
• Combine with other spices to balance flavors in savory dishes.
