Black salt
Kala Namak
5 g1 teaspoon
16 g1 tablespoon
Fine ground kala namak density ~1.05 g/ml; 1 tsp = 5.2 g (1 tbsp = 16 g)
Instead of Black salt
Nothing truly replaces the pungent, sulphurous flavour of kala namak in chaats, snacks, and spiced drinks.
Black rock saltUse equal weight (1:1). Both names typically denote mineral kala namak and offer identical sulphurous taste and aroma.
SaltUse 75% to 100% of the weight. Provides necessary saltiness, but the dish will completely lack the distinctive eggy, tangy kick.
