Healthy Recipe Ideas
Kala Khatta Soda Spritzer
In a tall glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves with a lime wedge. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Pour 100ml of Bombay Banta Kala Khatta Soda and top with 100ml of plain soda water or sparkling water. Stir gently and garnish with a mint sprig.
Health Benefits
This preparation dilutes the drink, cutting the sugar per serving by half while adding the freshness of mint and vitamin C from lime.
Spiced Kala Khatta Lassi
Mix 1 part Bombay Banta Kala Khatta Soda with 1 part plain yogurt (dahi). Blend the mixture until smooth. For extra flavour, add a pinch of roasted cumin powder. Pour into a glass and serve chilled.
Health Benefits
Creates a spiced lassi, adding protein and probiotics from the yogurt to balance the sugar from the soda.
Additive Analysis
Contains preservative (INS 211) and permitted synthetic food colors (INS 122, INS 133). While these are approved by FSSAI within set limits, regular consumption of products with these additives is generally discouraged, especially for children.

Marketing Claims
The marketing uses evocative terms like 'Kala Khatta' and 'spices' to create an image of a traditional, authentic beverage. However, this masks the reality that it is a industrially produced, high-sugar soda with artificial colors and preservatives. The '7% Real Lemon Juice' claim, derived from concentrate, could be perceived by consumers as healthier than it actually is. The branding downplays the product's primary characteristics as a sugar-sweetened beverage.
