What is Silbatta Salt?

Silbatta Salt (also called Pahadi Pisi Loon) is a traditional Uttarakhand seasoning made by hand-pounding salt with spices and herbs on a stone grinding slab called a silbatta, rather than using a mechanical grinder.

Is Gourmet Garlic Silbatta Salt spicy?

Yes, it has a noticeable heat from red chilli, balanced by the aroma of garlic. Start with a small quantity and adjust to your spice tolerance.

Can I use this instead of regular table salt in all my cooking?

It works well in most savoury cooking, but because it's coarser and more intensely flavoured, we recommend using it selectively rather than as a 1:1 daily table salt replacement.

Does it contain any preservatives or additives?

No. It contains only four ingredients — Himalayan pink salt, garlic, red chilli, and coriander seeds. No preservatives, additives, or anti-caking agents.

How should I store it?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, since it has no anti-caking agents and can absorb humidity.

What other Silbatta Salt flavours does Pahari Haat make?

Three other hand-pounded flavours — Heavenly Heeng (asafoetida), Tickling Timur (Himalayan Sichuan pepper), and Jubilant Jakhya (wild mustard) — each ₹260 for 100g.

Is this FSSAI certified?

Yes, all Pahari Haat products are manufactured in accordance with FSSAI standards.

Is this the same as Pahadi Namak or Pisi Loon?

Yes — Silbatta Salt is our brand name for what's traditionally called Pahadi Namak or Pisi Loon (also spelled Pisyu Loon) in Uttarakhand. Same hand-pounded product, different regional names.

Product Details

Pahari Haat Gourmet Garlic Silbatta Salt is a bold Pahadi Namak, hand-pounded on a stone silbatta with Himalayan pink salt, aromatic garlic, fiery red chili, and coriander seeds — no machines, no heat, no additives. 100g jar, handcrafted by women artisans in Kasar Devi, Almora.

Unlike commercial chili-garlic seasoning mixes made with machine grinding and often diluted with anticaking agents or MSG, Pahari Haat uses a "sil" (flat grinding stone) and "batta" (stone roller) to cold-pound sun-dried red chili, hand-peeled roasted garlic, and coriander seeds together with Himalayan pink salt — a technique passed down through generations of Pahadi kitchens.

What Is Pahadi Namak?

Pahadi Namak — also called Pisi Loon or Pisyu Loon in Uttarakhand — literally means "mountain salt." It's a category of hand-ground, flavour-infused salts that have been part of Uttarakhand's kitchens for generations. Pahari Haat's Gourmet Garlic Silbatta Salt is the chili-garlic variant of this tradition — bold, savoury, and unapologetically flavour-forward.
