Black Salt (Kala Namak) ^Sale

Black Salt (Kala Namak) is a unique type of rock salt with a distinct sulfurous aroma and a tangy, slightly smoky flavor. Reddish-black in color when whole and pinkish-grey when ground, it is widely used in Indian, Pakistani, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Commonly added to chutneys, chaats, raitas, and fruit salads, black salt enhances taste with its bold, savory edge and is especially popular in street food recipes.
