The Pahari Life Green Coriander & Garlic Salt 85gm 

Salt can add piquancy to any food. But is there something that can add colour and freshness to this pale edible mineral and enhance its taste? Ask people of Uttarakhand and they will tell you a myriad ways of doing so. Loaded with herbs and spices, these age-old ‘pisi noons or loons or namak ’ (salt ground with herbs and spices) from the mountains are not just super healthy, they are delicious enough to liven up any meal. A dash of colour, freshness and a sharp, edgy taste is what these alternatives to the table salt have been doing for decades. Pounded and ground, in a myriad of combinations of herbs and rock salts, this coarse pisi loon is indeed a magical addition to the cuisine.

Flavoured salts add an extra dimension to your cooking, and their colour and aroma sprinkled over finished dishes work equally well as a delicious garnish. A clever way to add quick flavour without needing to rely on a store cupboard of different spices.

Flavour-infused salt is a tasty and elegant addition to food when sprinkled on salads, soups, rubbed into meat before grilling and finishing off roasted vegetables. Sprinkle it over pizza, your next fried or boiled egg or breakfast toast! Use it in your dal tadka, use it to liven up raitas, chutneys and lassi or toss it with French fries or marinate paneer or chicken in it…. This seasoning allows endless interpretations.
