Maybe just consider adding a bit of garlic or onion.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-87850664120856982512012-06-04T22:23:04.614-04:002012-06-04T22:23:04.614-04:00What does asafetida impart to the dish (or any dis...What does asafetida impart to the dish (or any dish)?
