I've never had a problem with getting kala namak here in the USA, never had to lug it from India which I would otherwise definitely would.
Panfusine do you get kala namak in any grocery store in America?
(In tamil, I believe the term is 'mann vaasanai', being from Kerala, I'm sure you'll be able to transalate to the equivalent malayalam term)
The cyprus black salt as the link states is simply sea salt from the mediterranean sea mixed with charcoal, expect a smoky burnt flavor.
