Kala Namak (black salt) Indian seasoned salt with a natural sulphur note – gives an authentic “egg” flavour in vegan dishes and brings depth to chutneys & raita.
· Category: seasoned salt (Kala Namak)
· Taste: mild and salty, mineral; distinctive sulphur note (egg aroma)
· Use: tofu scramble, raita, chaats, fruit salad & exotic fruits; bowls, rice dishes, drinks
· Format: 170 g jar; 500 g stand-up pouch
My tip: Use sparingly (¼–½ tsp per portion) and add only at the end – this keeps the typical aroma clear and fine.
Origin & Story
Kala Namak, also known as "black salt", is an integral part of Indian cuisine – especially with fruit salads, chaats, raita or exotic fruits. It is made from crystal salt boiled together with the desert plant Salsola stocksii. Through this traditional process it takes on not only its characteristic colour but also its typical aroma.
Highlights
Kala Namak smells and tastes surprising – an intense whiff of sulphur is reminiscent of boiled eggs, without seeming artificial. This distinctive note makes it a secret weapon in vegan cooking: whether fruit juice, smoked tofu or exotic creations – the aroma lends depth and an almost umami-like complexity. At the same time the salt stays mild enough not to overpower side dishes.
Quality
Our Kala Namak consists of pure ingredients: crystal salt and Salsola stocksii. It contains no additives or flavourings – just pure salt, refined with the power of plants and traditional craftsmanship. Ideal for giving dishes a characterful, almost dramatic nuance.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
"Kala Namak is my secret tip for vegan breakfast ideas: a few pinches on top and even tofu scramble starts to taste like real egg. Or in a mango lassi – the aroma transforms it completely."
