Asafoetida is a traditional Indian spice frequently used in vegetarian dishes to replace onions and garlic. It can be found at Indian grocery stores and many health food stores. The spice is actually a gum taken from the root of an herb native to Persia and India. And is considered a digestive aid, often used in bean dishes, pickles and condiments. If asafetida is not available, add 1 or 2 whole peeled, smashed clove of garlic to the split peas when adding the water in step 2.
If preferred, substitute canola oil for ghee. Vegan ghee is available in health food stores.
