I took some pictures for the same post long back. I brought a big pack of LG perungayam from India n took pictures to publish in the blog. But some how I missed posting it. :) )) it’s been years now, still I have some left.
I broke the big chunk into small pieces and powder it using mortar&pestle. Chinna dabba alavukku powder pannuven, then after i used up that, I will make the powder again.

You are absolutely right about ready made hing powders. People who use katti perungayam won’t go back to ready made powders. :)

Very interesting and lovely article about asfoetida. We use it everyday but dont know the facts. My amma also does the same grinding procedure until this day. I do it only when I make podis. But after reading your post my thoughts are changing, to grind the asfoetida and store it is always better.

But now I have got to like it and love using it. I usually buy the ready blended one. I’ll look out for the block version next time I go to the Indian store.
