Great idea to post this recipe. I am sure so many people asked you about it and its great that you showed powdering it in the blender. Because whenever I tell most of my friends they always feel that it can't be done in the blender. I have to

You mix the powder with any cooking oil (occasionally some use ghee, but sesame oil is the best) and consume it with idli or dosa. I think he showed it towards the end of the video.

Thanks for the recipe..can u tell me how much ratio of urad dal..?

I always wanted to know how to buy asafoetida in Canada, from hindi stores.. Later, I figured out by tasting the hing powder which my north-indian friend used while cooking. What is interesting is that, the hing which they use has different texture

BTW, can hing and onions go together??? My mom always asked me to use either hing, or onions
