Black (Indian) Salt / Kala Namak

[Tirza]

Has anyone used this Black (Indian) Salt / Kala Namak Salt to impart a sulfur / egg-y flavour to simulated egg dishes like deviled eggs or egg salad? Since it has some sulfur in it, I was wondering if it caused any digestive upsets or heartburn?

When looking it up, I did find actual black salt, but that was actually called Black Lava Salt which is sea salt with activated charcoal in it.

Make sure you reference the name Kala Namak to get the correct one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kala_Namak It's actually a nice pinkish colour, not black.

Also, if anyone knows where I can get some in Toronto, I'd be happy to hear about it.

Thanks

You should be able to find it in any Indian grocery store/spice market.
There is sure to be one in a city as large as yours :)

Or there is always amazon:
