Kala namak

We may have many staples in our diet. Often termed as sodium chloride by the scientists, salt is a chemical compound that is not only confined to seawater but also found in the halite or rock salt mines of India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and in certain Himalayan ranges. It is also amply available in few lakes with high salt concentration like Sambhar Salt Lake, near Ajmer Rajasthan and in the salt lakes of Mustang district of Nepal. Quite a revelation, isn’t it? If that has surprised you, let us tell you one more secret. Unlike the free-flowing sparkly white salt, there is another variety available, this time in pitch black colour. Yeah! Really.

There’s no one way to make nimbu pani (which translates to lemon/lime water in Hindi), and there are endless regional variations, from lebur shorbot in Bangladesh to guccha soda in Nepal. In Delhi, they call it banta, and it takes the form of lemon-infused soda packaged in glass bottles that open with a satisfying pop and a sizzle of citrus-scented mist when you push a marble to break the seal. In Kolkata, where I grew up, I always order fresh lime soda, which comes with seltzer, mint, and a lime simple syrup, all served separately, which gives me the pure delight of playing mad scientist when I mix the ingredients together. In South Asia, the citrus (nimbu) used for this drink can be yellow or green, and it’s small and thin-skinned like a lime and especially tangy. We always keep some on the table to add flavor to our meals. If you’re outside of South Asia, you can use either a lemon or a lime for nimbu pani, and you can make the drink sour, sweet, or even both (we call this flavo...
