shakshouka
This dish is a great weekend brunch item . The secret of this dish is the black salt or Kala Namak in indian. This particular salt is obtained from the volcanic soil in the Himalayas and is the sulfur in this soil that gives it a particular taste just like egg. In addition, it has great healing properties for people with high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure since it's low in sodium. I hope you enjoy this version of shakshouka and have a great weekend with loved ones ;)
