@MiG We use sea salt mostly! We're from the south! We have oceans... wait they do too...

(well technically, I'm from more inland of tamil nadu and we have ... hills? CLOSE ENOUGH)

( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kala_namak is the 'black' salt)

oh, it's not used as a full on replacement for regular salt, just as a seasoning agent :)

and yeah, I'm aware... we have a jar of that stuff in the cupboard here :x

@MiG There's so many differences in regional cooking :D

Like oil (we use gingelly oil - there's other preferred native oils of choice)

I'm aware, gf likes to explore culinarily, so she doesn't just make stuff from her region... Last weekend we had hyderabadi biryani, and the day before that, haleem <3

Oh, ours tend to be 'elsewhere' in the south for most part

and 'indian' vegitarian/lactovegan

pretty much everything here I think (:
