It’s pretty difficult to know how to measure things sometimes, each country seems to have a different way of measuring weight, temperature, volume etc. So here’s a simple conversion for most recipes just to keep you sweet.

Thanks for letting me know. I’d forgotten to add them to the ingredient list. Asafoetida is a spice used throughout India. It’s a spice that actually smells really terrible, but is used in food as it is said to aid in digestion and help with ‘flatulence’. It’s only ever used in tiny amounts and thankfully the smell is actually pretty pleasant once cooked. Wherever you see it in a recipe, it’s always fine just to leave it out as it is unlikely to be there for the flavour.
You can find it in all good Indian food stores – either ask for asafoetida or as it is also known, ‘Hing’.
Just wondering what asafoetida is and where I can find it? Didn’t see it or the cumin seeds in the ingredient list.
