Description
Kala Namak is often referred to as black salt or simply sanchal even though it is actually deep pink in colour. It s a beautiful unrefined table salt that can help to enhance the flavours of a dish. It is a special type of mineral salt from Pakistan. Black Salt / Kala Namak is used in Indian cuisine as a seasoning, most commonly used with snack foods. It is used in chaats (fruit glazes), chutneys, raitas (yoghurt and cucumbers mixes), fruit salads, and savoury deep-fried snacks. The ground salt is not black but more of a coral pink or pinkish grey, and has a very distinctive sulfurous mineral taste (like hard-boiled egg). These colours come from the presence of trace minerals such as magnesium, as well as volcanic iron.
