Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this Kala Namak to make Indian dishes- I'd never even heard of black salt until I started cracking open Indian cookbooks. When the one pound bag arrived a few days ago I stored it next to my unopened bag of pink Himalayan salt - briefly wondering if the two bags of high-end salt were the same thing.  I then promptly forgot all about it - until this morning.   This morning I stumbled out of bed and started proofing yeast for four loaves of  French bread while measuring out flour and salt. I vaguely remember grabbing one of the bags of salt  and measuring out 4 heaping teaspoons of the stuff into the mixer.   After the yeast foamed up, I poured in the liquid, snapped on the mixer and commenced to kneading bread dough. Moments later my kitchen was enveloped in a cloud of sulfur. Where was it coming from? I wondered as I set down my coffee cup. Then I started to panic as my mind offered up scary possibilities like hydrogen sulfide gas or a crack in hell. The girls ran into the kitchen asking about the smell spreading through the house.  "Mom, I think it's coming from your bread dough."   "it can't be my bread dough." I snapped, as I scooped up our little dog (h2s gas is heavy; it sinks to the floor).   "Mom, come here."  When I approached the mixer the smell was overwhelming, but the bread dough was otherwise perfect: silky, smooth and elastic, so I decided to let it live, and I set it out to rise. The smell eventually subsided and was pretty much gone by the time I punched down the dough and set it out to rise again.  I was in completely uncharted territory as I pulled the loaves out of the oven, but they smelled and looked great, and when we tasted the bread it was delicious. Five stars for not killing us.
