Kala Namak is a traditional Indian black salt which can either come from India or Pakistan, which is actually a dark purple-pink in colour (don’t ask me?). We stock this salt as a coarse format and it is blacker in the coarse salt format, it does go paler pink when it’s ground.
Kala Namak has a faintly sulphurous and smokey flavour which disappears during the cooking process. Unsurprisingly, kala namak is the best salt for use in Indian cuisine, especially North Indian cooking, and is traditionally used in making salt blends like chaat masala and the summer drink, jal jeera. Probably one of the most frequent uses for kala namk in the UK is for vegans looking for an eggy flavour in dishes such as scrambled tofu.
Alternative names are black salt, kala loon, kala namak and sanchal.
