Salt is one of the most essential ingredients in any kitchen. It enhances the taste of food, balances flavours, and brings dishes to life. But what if salt could do more than just season? That’s exactly what Flavoured Salt Combos offer—a creative, flavour-packed upgrade to regular salt that adds depth, aroma, and excitement to everyday meals. Whether you're cooking at home or looking to elevate simple snacks, a combo of flavoured salts is your go-to culinary companion.
What is a Flavoured Salt Combo?
A Flavoured Salt Combo is a curated set of specialty salts infused with herbs, spices, and natural ingredients. Each variant is carefully crafted to deliver unique flavours that complement a wide range of dishes. Instead of using plain salt, you can now choose from options like Garlic Salt, Chilli Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt with Herbs, or Lemon Salt, each designed to bring a distinct taste and aroma.
At Namakwali, our flavoured salts are handcrafted using traditional sil batta techniques and age-old Himalayan recipes, also known locally as Pisyu Loon. They are made in small batches by women-led communities from the hills, using pure, natural, and local ingredients.
What’s Included in a Typical Flavoured Salt Combo?
While the combos may vary, a typical Flavoured Salt Combo can include:
- Garlic Flavoured Salt
Pungent and aromatic, perfect for stir-fries, soups, dals, or sprinkled over roasted veggies. - Chilli Salt
Adds a spicy kick to your fries, parathas, or even raw mango slices. - Lemon Salt
Refreshing and tangy, great for fruits, salads, chaats, or even popcorn. - Cumin Salt (Jeera Loon)
Warm and earthy, ideal for sprinkling on boiled potatoes, chaats, or yogurt dishes. - Herb-Infused Pink Salt
Mild and mineral-rich, this works well with grilled dishes, pastas, or as a finishing salt.
Why Choose a Flavoured Salt Combo?
1. Versatility in the Kitchen
Flavoured salts can be used at multiple stages of cooking—marinating, seasoning, garnishing, or finishing a dish. A single combo can serve different meals throughout the day.
2. Elevated Taste Instantly
These salts are pre-blended with spices and herbs. Just a pinch can elevate bland dishes, snacks, or drinks without needing additional ingredients.
3. Time-Saving and Convenient
No need to roast or grind spices. Flavoured salts save time while ensuring your food is packed with traditional taste.
4. No Preservatives or Additives

How to Use Flavoured Salt Combo in Cooking
Here are a few ideas to get started:
- On Fruits and Salads: Sprinkle lemon or cumin salt over watermelon, papaya, cucumber, or mixed greens for a refreshing twist.
- With Parathas and Chapatis: Garlic or chilli salt pairs beautifully with plain paratha, adding a spicy edge.
- On Snacks: Use it to season makhana (foxnuts), popcorn, chips, or roasted nuts.
- In Cooking: Add garlic or herb salt while preparing stir-fries, egg dishes, or lentils for enhanced flavour.
- With Rice or Pulao: Flavoured salts give an aromatic punch to simple rice dishes.
- In Drinks: Lemon or cumin salt can be added to buttermilk, lemonade, or jaljeera for a zesty kick.
Health Benefits of Flavoured Salt
While salt should always be consumed in moderation, flavoured salts made with Himalayan Pink Salt or rock salt come with added benefits:
- Mineral-Rich: Himalayan salts contain trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
- Digestive Aid: Cumin, black salt, and garlic are known for aiding digestion and reducing bloating.
- No Chemicals: Unlike processed table salt, our flavoured salts are natural, unrefined, and chemical-free.
- Low Sodium Alternative: The added herbs and spices provide strong flavours, so you end up using less salt overall.
