Asafoetida
Origin: Indian
Pronounced as ah-sah-FEH-teh-dah
An extremely pungent spice extracted from a plant of the giant fennel family, asafoetida is frequently used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. Asafoetida's strong, garlicky, dung-like smell is quite off-putting. But if you can overcome the stink, which disappears in the cooking process, the smallest amount of it transforms vegetable dishes, meat stews and fish.
