Salt-anate: Ek Namkeen Kahani

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

Our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are feeling salty and are exploring the ingredient that was once worth its weight in gold (quite literally) - salt. They discuss:

• The global history of salt
• Why salt is connected to your salary in ways you didn’t know
• The difference between table salt and rock salt?
• Why salt is iodized
• Why salt taxes have always been controversial
• The real story of the salt satyagraha or Dandi March

So sit back and relax, don’t rub salt on people’s wounds, crank up the volume and let our 2Gs season your day with this conversation.Important links to geek out more:
