Indian fries and Asafoetida

I had some fries from a local street market I was visiting in Switzerland. They were some of the best seasoned fries I have ever had. They had a distinct note that reminded me of Indian food, but I couldn’t quite make out what caused the flavor.

I asked what the seasoning was made of, and they said it included Italian Seasoning/Paprika/Chili Powder/Garlic Powder/Onion Powder and Asafoetida.

Reading online, I can’t find a ton of info about Asafoetida. How would one use it as a seasoning? From what I read, it is generally cooked in a dish rather than sprinkled on a dish.

Are there other Indian spices that are often used in seasoning for fries? There was a bit of a language barrier, but I’m fairly confident I heard them correctly.
