Compounded Asafoetida Powder (கூட்டு பெருங்காயத்தூள்) is a blend of asafoetida resin with wheat or rice flour, widely used in Indian cooking for its pungent aroma and digestive benefits. It enhances flavor in dishes like sambar, rasam, and curries while acting as a natural preservative. Known for its carminative properties, it relieves gas, bloating, and indigestion. It also aids respiratory health by reducing mucus. Store it in an airtight container away from moisture and sunlight to maintain its potency and freshness. Just a pinch adds depth to recipes, making it both a culinary and medicinal staple in Tamil kitchens.
