In Indian kitchens, flavours aren’t just ingredients—they’re memories, traditions, and health remedies passed down through generations. Among the many spice blends that bring our food to life, Hing Jeera Flavoured Salt stands out as a perfect balance of taste and wellness. This unique combination of asafoetida (hing) and cumin (jeera) blended with natural rock salt is more than just a seasoning—it's a taste of India’s rich culinary heritage.
At Namakwali, we’ve reimagined this traditional blend using age-old methods like sil batta (stone grinding), ensuring you enjoy authentic flavours with every sprinkle. Let’s explore why this flavoured salt deserves a special place in your kitchen.
What is Hing Jeera Flavoured Salt?
Hing Jeera Flavoured Salt is a handcrafted seasoning made by blending:
Hing (asafoetida): Known for its pungent aroma and powerful digestive benefits.
Jeera (cumin): A spice with earthy warmth and numerous health advantages.
Rock Salt (Sendha Namak): A naturally occurring salt rich in minerals, easier on the stomach than regular table salt.
This mix creates a bold, savoury flavour that enhances a wide range of Indian dishes—from chaats and fruits to parathas and curd.
The Traditional Making Process
At Namakwali, we follow traditional Himalayan practices. Ingredients are stone-ground on sil batta, preserving natural oils and aroma. This slow, manual method helps maintain the authentic taste and texture of the spices, which is often lost in industrial processing.
Made by women-led communities in the hills of Uttarakhand, each batch of Hing Jeera Salt is a result of skilled hands and mindful preparation. There are no preservatives or artificial flavours—only pure, natural goodness.
Culinary Uses of Hing Jeera Flavoured Salt
The beauty of this flavoured salt is its versatility. Just a pinch can transform a simple dish into a flavorful delight. Here’s how you can use it:
Sprinkle on fruits like guava, apple, papaya, or watermelon to enhance natural sweetness with a tangy twist.
Add to chaats, bhel puri, dahi puri, and pani puri for an extra zing.
Season curd or raita for a refreshing flavour boost.
Use in parathas, khichdi, or dal for added depth and aroma.
Perfect for fasting meals (vrat) with sendha namak as the base.

This salt isn’t just about flavour—it’s a digestive powerhouse and a natural remedy used in Ayurveda for centuries.
