Variations: 
Use 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1/2 tsp garam masala as the spices
Add in 2 tbsp coconut and 1 tsp ground coriander or sambhar masala for variation. 
Asafetida is often mixed with wheat flours or starches while grinding, so it might not be gluten-free. For gluten-free asafetida, make sure to get one with rice flour or starch. It is optional in the recipe.
