SEHAT KI CHAMAK.
SWAAD WALA NAMAK.

Table Top Salt’s Black Salt, or kala namak, is one of the most flavourful and functional types of salt in Indian cooking. With its distinctive dark pinkish-grey hue and sharp, sulphurous aroma, black salt is instantly recognisable and irreplaceable in a wide range of Indian dishes and wellness preparations.

Made by heating rock salt with Ayurvedic herbs, seeds and bark at high temperatures, black salt undergoes a transformation that gives it that characteristic smoky, tangy flavour. This makes it the essential finishing touch in chaat masala, pani puri water, bhel puri, and raitas – the kind of dishes where standard salt simply cannot replicate the depth of flavour.

Among the many types of salt used in Indian cuisine, black salt holds a unique position in Ayurveda as well. It is valued for its digestive properties, known to relieve bloating, stimulate digestion, and soothe acidity. It contains lower levels of sodium than regular table salt, making it a more comfortable choice for those with mild sodium sensitivities.
