Black salt has a distinctive sulphurous aroma and a savoury, slightly eggy flavour that comes through as soon as it hits food. A pinch stirred into a dish releases that characteristic tang, setting it apart from ordinary table salt. This is kala namak, a dark, mineral-rich salt long used in South Asian kitchens. It has a pinkish-grey colour when whole and a fine, crumbly texture once ground. Unlike plain salt, its flavour is bold enough to change the character of a dish rather than simply seasoning it. Use it in chaat, sprinkled over fruit salads, or stirred through raita for extra depth. It works well in jaljeera and other spiced drinks, and many cooks add it to lassi for a savoury twist. A small amount goes a long way, so add it gradually and taste as you go. Store black salt in a cool, dry place, sealed away from moisture, as it can clump if exposed to damp air. Keep it in an airtight container and give it a stir or a light grind before use if it has hardened. Used well, it brings a punchy, savoury edge to everyday dishes without needing a heavy hand.
