Unlock a truly distinctive and traditional flavor dimension in your South Asian and vegan cooking with TRS Black Salt Powder (Kala Namak/Sanchal) 100g. This unique Indian volcanic rock salt, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, is kiln-fired and infused with traditional Indian herbs and spices, resulting in its characteristic dark purplish-pink to blackish color (when whole, though it’s usually pinkish-grey when powdered) and a pungent, savory, and slightly sulphurous aroma and taste often described as “eggy.”
Understanding Black Salt (Kala Namak)
Kala Namak is not simply black colored salt; its unique properties come from its composition and traditional preparation method:
Distinctive Sulphurous Flavor & Aroma: Its most notable characteristic is its pungent, savory, and slightly eggy taste and smell, primarily due to sulfur compounds. This makes it irreplaceable in certain dishes.
Essential for Chaats & Street Food: A cornerstone ingredient in Indian street food (chaat) preparations, fruit salads, and various snacks, where it adds a signature tangy and savory kick.
Enhances Raitas & Yogurts: Sprinkled over yogurt-based raitas, dips, and buttermilk (chaas) to provide a cooling yet zesty flavor.
Popular in Vegan Cooking: Its eggy flavor makes it a popular ingredient in vegan cuisine to mimic the taste of eggs in dishes like tofu scrambles or vegan “egg” salads.
Ayurvedic Uses: In Ayurveda, Kala Namak is often considered to be cooling and beneficial for digestion, sometimes used in digestive aids or to relieve flatulence.
Quality by TRS: TRS provides this unique seasoning, ensuring you get the authentic Kala Namak experience.
Culinary Uses for TRS Black Salt Powder
Chaat Preparations: Essential for Bhel Puri, Pani Puri, Dahi Vada, Aloo Chaat, and other street food snacks.
Fruit Salads & Sprinkles: Sprinkle over cut fruits like watermelon, guava, apples, or cucumbers for a tangy twist.
Raitas & Dips: A classic seasoning for all kinds of yogurt raitas and savory dips.
Beverages: Adds a unique flavor to Jaljeera, Nimbu Pani (lemonade), and some lassis.
Salads & Dressings: Can be used in dressings or sprinkled over salads for a savory note.
Vegan “Egg” Dishes: Imparts an eggy flavor to tofu scrambles, chickpea omelets, and vegan mayonnaise.
Chutneys & Pickles: Used in some chutneys and spice blends for pickles.
Finishing Salt: Use as a finishing salt on various savory dishes for an extra layer of flavor.
Tips for Using Black Salt
Kala Namak has a strong flavor; start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Its aroma is quite pungent when you open the pack but mellows slightly when incorporated into dishes.
Store in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing moisture and losing its distinct aroma.
