"Kala namak" is a type of volcanic salt used in Asian cuisine, primarily in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. It is known as "Black Salt" or "Indian Salt".
Kala namak, when mined, has a pinkish hue that can turn gray depending on the mineral content in the salt. It is then roasted at high temperatures (800°c) in a kiln, which darkens the color and intensifies the flavor.
Its characteristic feature is its mildly distinctive, slightly sulfurous taste, which can resemble fish roe.
It is typically used to add a unique aroma and flavor to various dishes such as sauces, salads, chutneys, fruits, and vegetables. It is also used in small quantities in recipes like vegan mayonnaise to impart the flavor of fish roe.
