Gluten free Hing

Several of my friends/clients have asked me about gluten-free hing. It is hard to find as gluten/wheat flour is normally used as a anticaking agent with the asafoetida resin (hing/pergungayam) powder.

However, I discovered one brand that offers high quality mix with gluten free hing

Plantains - Tamil Style

South Indian style plantain curry.

Diced, lightly salted, then braised in a pan with roasted mustard and split lentil seeds.

Uses about 2-3 tbsp oil for 2 large plantains. Salt to taste and chili powder to taste.

I add roasted flax seeds to the dish sometimes to give it better texture.


By the way, I added some rock salt to season this. Didn't have the heart to use the biggest crystal featured below though!

This other picture does show most of the salt crystals that were crushed and added to the meal!
