How to use
Break off a small piece and dissolve it in a teaspoon of warm water, or crush it and add directly to hot oil or ghee before adding dal, beans or vegetables. Hing is traditionally added to lentil and bean dishes, which is why it is a staple in dal-heavy cooking.
Storage
Close the tin tightly after every use and store in a cool, dry place.
Frequently asked questions
Whole hing or hing powder – which should I buy?
Whole (ras) hing is preferred by cooks who use hing often and like to control the strength. Powder is quicker to measure for everyday tadka.
How much should I use?
A piece the size of a small pea is enough for a family-sized pot of dal. Adjust to taste.
