East Indian Spices

Looking to buy asafetida (hing) in Ontario, Canada.?
I have been leaving this out of all of my Indian recipes as I've been unable to find it so far. It was rather puzzling when I asked at one Indian grocery and they didn't know what I was talking about. Anyway, If anyone could let me know where they have found it and maybe even a better description of what I'm looking for hopefully this could help me. I've been searching spice aisles and bulk stores so far with no luck. I'm east of Toronto too if anyone happens upon this question that could give me really specific purchase options.
Thanks ![]()
Well not only am I in and from Ontario Canada, I am a former chef and live here in Toronto and have some in my larder right now, I buy it at a spice place here in the Kensington Market it come in a small yellow plastic container.
You can find the powder or the resin block you grate, if you let me know were you are or a general proximity I can forward you, like in place such as London, KW and other cities I have knowledge of.
There are a few Indian shops and markets in Oshawa to try and find it.

![]() The Mistress of Spices List Price: Sale Price: $5.60 See Reviews For This Product DescriptionTilo, an immigrant from India, runs an Indian spice shop in Oakland, California. While she dispenses the classic ingredients for curries and kormas, she also helps her customers to gain a more precious commodity: whatever they most desire. For Tilo is a Mistress of Spices, a priestess of the secret, magical powers of spices. Through those who visit and revisit her shop - Ahuja's wife, caught in an unhappy, abusive marriage; Jagjit, the victim of racist attacks at school; the noisy bougainvillaea girls, rejecting the strict upbringing of their tradition-bound Indian parents; Haroun who drives a taxi and dreams the American dream - we get a glimpse into the life of the local Indian expatriate community. To each Tilo dispenses wisdom and the appropriate spice: coriander for sight; turmeric to erase wrinkles; cinnamon for finding friends; fenugreek to make a rejected wife desirable again; chillies for the cleansing of evil. But when a lonely American comes into the store, a troubled Tilo cannot find the right spice, for he arouses in her a forbidden desire, and following her own desires will destroy her magical powers. Compelling and lyrical, full of heady scents and with more than a touch of humour, this novel explores the clash between East and West even as it unveils the universal mysteries of the human heart. On a mythic island of women "where on our skin, the warm rain fell like pomegranate seeds" powerful spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and fenugreek whisper their secrets to young acolytes. Ordained after trial by fire, each new spice mistress is sent to a far-off land to cure the life pains of all Indian seekers, while keeping a cool distance from the mortals. Only stubborn, passionate Tilo, disguised as an old woman merchant in present-day Oakland, California, fails to heed the vengeful spices' warnings. Fragrant with spice and sensuality, this winning tale rolls off the tongue. Written in the soaring, poetic tradition of China Men and Haroun and the Sea of Stories. |
