Notes

*You can also find Maggi masala magic powder at most Indian grocery stores or online.
Gluten-free guidance: Pure asafetida is gluten-free but most commercial powdered asafetida contains wheat flour as an anti-caking agent. If you are gluten-free shop for brands that are gluten-free certified, or skip this ingredient.
