If your palate enjoys adding flavour to your culinary delights, beyond salt and pepper, this ones for you.
Let’s talk all things black salt (aka kala namak). It’s a misnomer actually —it’s more of a light pastel-ish pink—and it smells a bit… erm, well, eggy. Sounds a tad peculiar, but give it a try, it’s a game-changer.
Popular in South Asian cooking, this mineral-rich salt adds a savoury ✨ umami ✨ kick to dishes. Vegans love it because it makes tofu scramble taste exactly like eggs. Chuck it in your brunch, sprinkle it over fruit, or mix it into a drink for an extra punch. It’s packed with sulphur compounds (hence the scent) but don’t be put off—it’s delicious.
