What's the English term for ...

Ing/Hing?

It’s this icky black thing that mum puts in her curry (not curry as in handi but curry as in curry - you know that yellowish handi made of dahl and rice and dayN and milk).

It’s got a really strong smell/taste to it so we’re only meant to use it in minute measurements.

I’m trying to write out the recipe for a friend but no1 knows teh English term for it.

Kind Regards

Sobi.

It is called asafoetida.

Aisha, can you buy it from desi stores? I know my mum normally brings it back from Pakistan.

Here in Chicago, you can find it the desi stores.

OK cool, I'll let her know. Thanx Aisha.
