Hing (Asafoetida), Jeera (Cumin) & Black Salt is a traditional flavoured salt (sil pisi loon/noon) from Uttarakhand that adds an extra dimension to your cooking with its warm colour and strong, appetizing aroma. It works beautifully when sprinkled over finished dishes as a garnish, giving instant hing–jeera flavour without needing a whole shelf of different spices.
This flavour-infused salt is a versatile seasoning you can use on salads, soups, pizzas, fried or boiled eggs, breakfast toast, and roasted vegetables. It is also excellent for rubbing onto meat before grilling or marinating, and for adding a tangy, savoury lift to dal tadka, raitas, cut fruits, chutneys, lassi, French fries, or for marinating paneer and chicken—making it a handy all-rounder in everyday cooking.
