I agree with Ample Alice's comment on the flavour: I was very cautious at first and only used 1/4 teaspoon in a 2-person dish. After experimenting, I now use a good teaspoonful. However, this can have the unwanted side-effect of Asafoetida-flavoured burps! Maybe Alice's suggestion of buying it uncut is worth considering.
