How much "compounded" asafoetida to use?

Seasoned Advice Asked on June 21, 2021

I have a UK-Indian recipe that calls for asafoetida (1/4 teaspoons). I have bought this:

This says it is "compounded" asafoetida powder. Is this any different from what would be used for my recipe? Do I use the amount called for, or less/more? The listed ingredients are gum arabic, wheat starch, and asafoetida.

One Answer

Asafoetida is most commonly found in a "compounded" form. It's about 30% asafoetida resin mixed with rice or wheat flour, and gum arabic. Use it as your recipe directs. It's fairly potent. I use about 1/4 tsp at a time.
