The Food of The Gods, aka Asafoetida
Indian food is one of the world’s most diverse and delicious cuisines. But if you want to experience its glorious flavors, you must try dishes with asafoetida. Asafoetida is an essential mixture of whole spices, giving your Indian dishes a uniquely delicious taste. It is as distinctive as its name. Some have called it the “Food of the Gods,” and others refer to it as “Devil’s Dung”… A 16th-century text declared that using this spice in cooking would ruin any dish due to its fearsome smell. Clearly, they had not had the privilege of tasting an Indian Masoor Dal.
