lol - I read the title and thougt it was a fear of Adsa!! lol
lol at hippyhoppy.......... still pmsl!

here you go sweetie, you only actually need a tiny amount of it otherwise it'll cause the food to taste bitter. You add it in the oil after you've put the crackle ingredients in (mustard seeds, jeeru etc....) Asafoetida is helpful in digesting your food. I make a potato and aubergine curry with a pinch of it in there and I make a soup/sauce to go with rice which is similar to the sambar recipe in the link below.

you can add a pinch of it in any of the recipes in this link too
