Ingredient: Kala Namak

Kala Namak is a special salt also known as "Black Salt." It is mainly used in Indian cuisine and has a unique flavor and aroma. Kala Namak is obtained from volcanic rock found in North India and Pakistan. It has a pink to brown color and is brought to a dark hue by adding small amounts of iron and sulfur compounds.

Kala Namak is often used as a spice in vegan and vegetarian cuisine to create an egg-salt taste. It also has a sulfur-like smell reminiscent of boiled eggs, which is why it is often used in dishes such as tofu scramble, vegan potato salad, or in chutneys and dips. However, Kala Namak also has a healing effect and is used in Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate digestive problems and other ailments.
