Aarog Black Salt (Kala Namak) | The Distinctive Flavor of Traditional Chaat

No seasoning delivers a punch of Authentic tang and umami quite like Kala Namak. Known commonly as Black Salt or Sanchal, this unique rock salt is essential for achieving the complex, irresistible flavors found in traditional South Asian street food, salads, and beverages.

Aarog Authentic Kala Namak is sourced from natural deposits and processed using the traditional method that imparts its signature sulfuric aroma and savory taste. This salt is not simply smoked; it is heated in a kiln with herbs, which alters its chemical composition to create its unique flavor and purplish-pink hue when ground.

The Unique Flavor Profile and Processing

Unlike standard table salt, Kala Namak offers a distinct, egg-like savoriness that is crucial for certain recipes:

• Signature Flavor: The complex, tangy, and slightly sulfuric taste is irreplaceable in chaat, raitas, and fruit salads.

• Vegan Essential: Its unique savory profile makes it a key ingredient for vegan cuisine, mimicking the flavor of egg in dishes like tofu scrambles.

• Pure Sourcing: We ensure the raw rock salt used in the firing process is of high quality, guaranteeing a pure final product free from artificial coloring or synthetic additives often found in low-grade black salts.

Wellness Focus: Digestive and Cooling Properties

True to our ‘Aarog’ promise, Black Salt has been celebrated for centuries in Ayurvedic practice for its digestive benefits:

• Digestive Aid: Kala Namak is known to be a cooling salt, helping to ease bloating and support healthy digestion after meals.

• Appetizer: It is often used in appetizers and savory drinks like Jal Jeera (Cumin Water) to stimulate appetite.

• Pure Certified: Free from harmful chemicals (Our focus is on the purity of the final product after processing).

• Quality Tested: Tested for purity, characteristic aroma, and composition before packing.

Culinary Versatility: Beyond the Street Food

The Authentic Kala Namak is a seasoning that can transform simple ingredients:

• Chaats and Raitas: Essential for dishes like Pani Puri, Bhel Puri, and Dahi Raita, adding that crucial, distinctive flavor. We recommend pairing it with Aarog Chat Masala Powder for the ultimate flavor layering.

• Salads and Fruits: Sprinkle lightly over cucumber, tomatoes, or even mangos for a unique twist.

• Beverages: Key ingredient for traditional drinks like Jal Jeera and Shikanji (Indian lemonade).

Packaging and Aroma Preservation

Due to its intense, volatile aroma, proper packaging is crucial for Kala Namak. We ensure the salt is carefully crushed and immediately sealed in our high-barrier pouches to retain its sharp flavor and prevent the aroma from affecting other products.

• Clean Processed: Processed using hygienic, food-grade equipment (crushed and milled with care).

• Flavor Locked: Sealed in airtight packaging to preserve natural flavor and prevent aroma leakage.
