Ingredients

For Cumin Salt:

  • 2 tbsps cumin seeds toasted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

For Garlic salt:

  • 2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

For Sweet Paprika Salt:

  • 2 tablespoon sweet paprika powder
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

For Salt and Pepper:

  • 2 tablespoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

For the bake:

  • 4 Potatoes
  • Butter or olive oil for brushing

Instructions

To make Cumin Salt:

  • In the mortar add the cumin grind cumin seeds with the pestle crush them.
  • When the jeera/cumin is coarsely ground add the salt and grind once again till you get a mixture of your liking. I have left it a bit coarse.
  • Transfer to an airtight container for everyday use.
    Simple flavours of cumin and salt take foods to a newer level

To make Garlic Salt:

  • In the mortar add the garlic powder and salt. Mix well with the pestle. Transfer to a small bowl.
    Salt flavoured with garlic

To make Sweet Paprika Salt:

  • In the mortar add the sweet paprika powder and salt. Mix well with the pestle.  Transfer to a small bowl.

For Salt and Pepper:

  • Add the salt and pepper to your mixer grinder (the one you use to make chutney works best). Run the mixer. I prefer to make this salt very fine.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and use as needed.

To make Flavored Salt Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray lightly with oil.
  • Cut the potato into thin slices but keep the potato intact. Take care and do not go right down into the potato. Cut as close as possible.
  • Arrange the potato and the uncut portion down on the tray. Sprinkle the salt of your choice.
  • Brush with half the butter and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes carefully turn the potatoes. (take care they will be hot)
  • Brush with the remaining butter.
  • Sprinkle the flavoured salt and bake for a further 30 minutes or until crisp.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Substitutions:
  • In place of potatoes, you can use cauliflower or sweet potato too.
  • Use olive oil instead of butter for a vegan baked potato.
  • Try using your favourite salts on boiled corn on a cob. I highly recommend cumin salt with some butter.
