More About Product
Black Stone Flower, popularly known as Kalpasi, is a naturally occurring edible lichen widely used in South Indian cooking. It is especially valued in Chettinad cuisine, where it imparts a deep, earthy aroma that enhances complex spice blends without overpowering other ingredients. Although lightweight and delicate in appearance, Kalpasi develops its full flavour when roasted or sautéed in oil during cooking.
