Benefits
Why this little potli is good for you
- A pinch of pure hing aids digestion, soothes bloating and brings relief after heavy meals — a remedy Indian kitchens have trusted for generations.
- Naturally antimicrobial, it helps guard the gut against everyday infections and supports a calm, comfortable stomach.
- Its deep, savoury aroma adds a slow-cooked, restaurant-style depth to dal, kadhi, pickle and subzi — even a tiny amount transforms a dish.
How to Use
Simple ways to make the most of it
- Temper in hot ghee or oil for 5–10 seconds before adding to dal, sambar, rasam or curries — this releases its true flavour.
- Dissolve a tiny pinch in warm water with a little black salt for a traditional after-meal digestive drink.
- Store in an airtight jar away from moisture and strong spices; a little goes a very long way.
