Recipe for Hing

Aloo Jeera (Cumin Potatoes with Hing)

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium potatoes, boiled & cubed (peeled optional)

  • 2 tbsp ghee or oil (ghee enhances hing’s aroma)

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

  • ¼ tsp hing (asafoetida) (key ingredient!)

  • 1 green chili, slit (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • 1 tsp amchur (dry mango powder) or lemon juice

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Heat ghee/oil in a pan over medium. Add cumin seeds; sizzle 10 seconds.

  2. Add hing—let it bloom for 5 seconds (it’ll smell pungent at first, then mellow into an oniony-garlic aroma).

  3. Toss in ginger, green chili, turmeric, and coriander powder. Stir 15 seconds.

  4. Add potatoes, salt, and amchur/lemon juice. Cook 5–7 mins, crushing slightly for crisp edges.

  5. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with roti, yogurt, or as a samosa filling!

Why Hing is Magic Here:

🔥 Digestive aid: Hing’s anti-bloating properties balance starchy potatoes.
🌿 Onion/garlic substitute: Perfect for Jain or Ayurvedic diets.
💥 Umami bomb: Just ¼ tsp deepens flavor like nothing else!

  2. Besan Chilla (Savory Chickpea Pancakes) – Add a pinch to the batter.

  3. Hing Water (Ayurvedic Remedy) – A pinch in warm water aids digestion.

    Asafoetida as aromatherapy
    I use Asafoetida as aromatherapy. I discovered by accident that I feel good immediately when I hold the jar to my nose and smell the powder. I just love it! I have several jars of it so there is always one handy. Emotional first aid for me! I've talked to about 6 aromatherapists on the phone about this but none of them had heard of it and were not interested in my experience. But I use it every day and will continue to do so.
