Buy Pure Afghani Hing Crystals / Heeng by My Pahadi Dukan
My Pahadi Dukan Afghani Pahadi Hing is a premium uncompounded asafoetida crystal sourced from Afghanistan, a region known for strong and aromatic hing. Unlike common compounded hing powders that may contain wheat flour, maida, gum, starch or fillers, this hing is offered in its concentrated crystal form for people who want a purer and more powerful cooking ingredient.
Just a tiny pinch is enough to add deep savoury aroma and flavour to dals, curries, sabzis, kadhi, rasam, sambar, pickles and traditional Indian tadka recipes. It is especially useful in no onion-garlic cooking, Jain-style recipes and simple home meals where hing adds depth without overpowering the dish.
What Is Hing / Asafoetida?
Hing, also called Heeng or Asafoetida, is a strong aromatic resin obtained from Ferula plants. It has a sharp smell in raw form, but when added to hot oil or ghee, it develops a deep savoury aroma that enhances Indian food.
Pure hing crystals are more concentrated than regular compounded hing powder, so they should be used in very small quantities.
Why Choose Uncompounded Hing Crystals?
Most everyday hing powders are compounded, which means they may be mixed with flour, starch, gum or other carriers to make them easier to use. Uncompounded hing crystals are closer to the original resin form and are usually stronger in aroma and flavour.
Choose this hing if you want:
- 100% uncompounded asafoetida crystals
- Strong aroma and concentrated flavour
- No adulterants or unnecessary fillers
- A small-pinch ingredient for daily cooking
- Hing for dal, sabzi, kadhi, rasam, sambar and tadka
- A useful spice for no onion-garlic and Jain-style cooking
- Lab-tested quality and purity assurance

For extra aroma control, you can keep the hing container inside a second airtight jar.
