Black salt, also known as Kala Namak, is a type of rock salt often used in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is reddish grey in colour and has a specific sulphurous smell, which is often compared to that of boiled eggs. Black salt is made by heating natural salt with certain herbs and spices, such as harad seeds, then cooling and grinding it into a fine powder. It is used as a seasoning and flavouring in a variety of dishes, especially chutneys, chaats and salads. Black salt is also believed to have other beneficial properties, such as aiding digestion and reducing constipation. It is important to note that black salt is not a substitute for regular salt, as it has a different taste and is used in smaller quantities.
