Traditional Matka (Clay Pot) Process for Making Harad Baheda Amla Black Salt 

At Josan & Josan, we believe in preserving ancient traditions while delivering the highest quality. Our Harad Baheda Amla Black Salt is crafted using a time-honored process called Matka (Clay Pot) Roasting, ensuring that every grain of salt retains the full benefits of nature’s healing powers.

This traditional Ayurvedic process is passed down through generations, combining the healing properties of Harad (Haritaki), Baheda (Bibhitaki), Amla (Indian Gooseberry) with Himalayan Black Salt (Kala Namak), and processed with precision using Matka (clay pots) to enhance flavor, aroma, and therapeutic benefits.

 Step-by-Step Matka Process:

1. Sourcing Premium Ingredients:
   We start by selecting the finest sun-dried herbs: Harad, Baheda, and Amla. These herbs are carefully sourced from trusted Ayurvedic farms, ensuring the purity of the product. The raw Himalayan Black Salt is handpicked from the salt mines, preserving its natural mineral content.
   
   

2. Grinding & Preparing Ingredients:
   The herbs are sun-dried to perfection and then coarsely ground into a powder. The black salt is either kept in its raw crystal form or broken into smaller pieces, ready for the process.
   
   

3. Matka (Clay Pot) Roasting:
   The ingredients are mixed in the right proportions and then slowly roasted in traditional clay pots (Matkas) over a natural fire (cow dung or wood). This method, known as Matka Roasting, is a crucial step:
   
   

   • Clay pots retain heat evenly, allowing the ingredients to roast at the right temperature.
     
     

   • The natural fire brings out the full flavors and medicinal properties of the herbs.
     
     

   • The smoke from the fire infuses the mixture with a rich, smoky aroma that enhances the salt’s flavor.
     
     

4. Aging and Cooling:
   After roasting, the mixture is left to cool naturally in a shaded area, where the properties of the salt and herbs continue to mature. This step ensures that the salt retains its full medicinal potential.
   
   

5. Powdering & Packaging:
   Once cooled, the mixture is carefully powdered and sieved to achieve the perfect consistency. The finished product is then packed in moisture-proof, food-safe packaging, ready for export or retail sale.
   
   

 Why the Matka Process Matters:

•  Authentic Aroma – The clay pot method enhances the distinct sulfurous aroma and smoky flavor of the black salt.
  
  

•  Maximum Nutrient Retention – Roasting in a clay pot ensures that the medicinal qualities of the herbs (Harad, Baheda, Amla) and the minerals in the salt remain intact.
  
  

•  Natural and Pure – Free from chemicals and additives, the Matka process retains the natural essence of each ingredient.
  
  

•  Holistic Healing – The combination of Harad, Baheda, and Amla with Black Salt creates a digestive and detoxifying powerhouse.
