I recently bought a bag of black salt out of curiosity. Very pretty it is too and tasting quite 'eggy' (rather like the lick salt block given to cows!)

I can see it is used often in chutneys and chat masalas. Question is what else can I do with it, is it used instead of sea salt in parts of India?

Otherwise I can make beautiful water dissolvable necklaces with it or I see it is a possible cure for hysteria - what's the recommended dosage Mamta? !!

I use it in chat masalas. Great with chicken, and on fruit. It has no magic properties (unless you have spiritual beliefs!)

It is also nice on roasted cashew nuts. Some vegans use it in salads to give an egg flavour.

LOL!

It is nice in salads and spicy drinks. Try 'Jal-Jeera/Fire Water'; http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=13359

Oh gods, is that the drink that looks like dish water and smells like something that's been rotting for the last 20 years?

;P

LOL. I am the only one in our house that doesn't mind black salt. I will never forget the look on everyone's faces when they tried it for the first time.

I looove black salt, that sulphurous taste is fabulous.

Just the drink mum makes is DISGUSTING!
