I think I tried that at a vegetarian restaurant in Newmarket that is now closed down. Doesn't seem to be anything on google according to my searches...

Yep, have had a look. It is a powder used in Indian vegetarian cooking.

Hing is also known as Asafoetida - I have never used it but have often seen it used in recipes - particularly vegetarian and Indian - I understand that hing can be found at Bin Inn. Here's some info' that may be of interest:-
"Cooking This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment and in pickles. Its odour, when uncooked, is so strong that it must be stored in airtight containers; otherwise the aroma will contaminate other spices stored nearby. However, its odour and flavor become much milder and more pleasant upon heating in oil or ghee, acquiring a taste and aroma reminiscent of sautéed onion and garlic. Antiflatulent Asafoetida reduces the growth of indigenous microflora in the gut, reducing flatulence. "
The above info' and more about hing can be found at:-
