Namak

My first introduction to assertively mineraly black salt, or kala namak in Hindi and Urdu, was as an ingredient in Beyond the nostalgic, snackable pellets, kala namak makes its bold presence known in Everywhere kala namak goes, it’s impossible to miss. And in the context of plant-based cooking, it’s become a pantry staple for when I don’t have meatiness or egginess to lean on. What is kala namak? Kala namak is a type of volcanic rock salt typically mined in countries that border the Himalayan mountains like India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It gets its distinctive black color from trace minerals and iron (the keys to its earthy flavor). Kala namak, when it’s first mined, is usually a shade of pink, which can veer on ashy gray, depending on the amount of elements in the salt. It’s then fired at a high heat (close to 1500°F) in a kiln which turns the color darker and the flavor more pronounced. Kala namak’s flavor is often described as “eggy,” a polite way to say that on its own, it’s a punch of sulfur and phosphorus to the palate, like hard-boiled egg yolks, which is why it’s so beloved by vegan cooks. In Ayurveda, it’s purported to have cooling effects on the body, which is why it’s often used in electrolyte-replenishing How to cook with kala namak A little bit of kala namak goes a long way—do not use it as a one-to-one table salt replacement. Instead, treat it as you would any other spice, starting with just a bit, and amping up the flavor to taste. Kala namak plays...

• Dissolving the sugar and salt in the lime juice before adding in the soda water keeps the drink as fizzy as possible. • Filling the glass with ice and water then draining the water chills the glass and wets the ice, both of which help to keep the drink fizzier. • Sugar tempers the acidity of the lime juice. The best part about unbearably hot summer weather is you get to enjoy nimbu soda. That's not to say you can't drink nimbu soda in the winter, or the spring, or the fall; it's essentially citrus juice and soda water, rounded out with a little sugar and some salt. You can drink it any time at all. But nimbu soda is best when you're so hot you can barely think, when your body is sheathed in a thin film of warm sweat, when the exterior of the glass you hold in your hand, filled just moments before, is also entirely wet from the condensation of the swampy air. There's no better time to drink nimbu soda than when the weather approximates the sweltering summers I spent in New Delhi, India, as a kid, when temperature would regularly be at or over 100 degrees. As you can see, a recipe isn't particularly necessary for such a simple drink, although there are ways to make it a little more complicated. When we'd order it in hotel restaurants—the pleasure of nimbu soda on a hot day while blessed with extremely effective central air conditioning, which we did not then have nor do I now, is a luxury I'll always associate with going to lunch with visitors at the Hyatt Regency off the ...

About Namak Para Namak para is a rolled-out dough snack made with flour, oil and spices, shaped into diamonds, and deep fried to get the golden-brown texture and crunchy mouthfeel.

Sendha namak, a type of salt, is formed when salt water from a sea or lake evaporates and leaves behind colorful crystals of sodium chloride. It’s also called halite, saindhava lavana, or rock salt. Himalayan pink salt is one of the best known types of rock salt, but several other varieties exist. Sendha namak is highly valued in Ayurveda, a system of alternative medicine originating in India. According to this tradition, rock salts offer numerous health benefits, such as treating colds and coughs, as well as aiding digestion and eyesight ( However, you may wonder if these claims are backed by science. Here are 6 evidence-based benefits and uses of sendha namak. It’s a common misconception that salt and sodium are the same thing. Although all salts contain sodium, sodium is only one part of a salt crystal. In fact, Notably, sendha namak offers trace levels of several other minerals, including iron, These minerals give rock salt its various colors.
