Kala Namak, also known as black salt, is a type of rock salt with a distinctive flavour commonly used in South Asian cooking. 

  • True to its name, Kala Namak has a dark, purple-ish hue that sets it apart from regular table salt.
  • One of the most notable characteristics of Kala Namak is its strong, sulfuric taste. It has a pungent aroma and an eggy or sulphurous flavour, which is why it is often used to mimic the taste of eggs in vegan dishes.
  • Kala Namak is typically coarser in texture compared to regular table salt, adding a bit of crunch to dishes.
  • Like other types of salt, Kala Namak contains essential minerals like sodium and iron. However, it is believed to have fewer additives and chemicals compared to processed table salt.
  • Kala Namak is popular in vegan and vegetarian cooking for its ability to add a savoury, umami flavour to dishes. It is commonly used in chaats, chutneys, salads, and fruit salads to enhance the overall taste profile.

These attributes make Kala Namak a unique and versatile ingredient in the culinary world, adding depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes.
