Black Stone Flower 250 g

Black Stone Flower, also known as Dagad Phool, is one of the most unique and aromatic spices used in Indian cooking, especially in Chettinad cuisine. It is a rare, dried, edible lichen that grows naturally on trees, rocks, and stones. With its soft, dry, and fluffy texture, this spice has a strong earthy and woody aroma that adds depth and complexity to dishes. It is a key ingredient in masalas like Goda Masala and Kala Masala, giving them their distinct flavor and dark color. While commonly used in Chettinad, it also finds its place in Hyderabadi and Marathi cuisines. To bring out its full flavor, it is best roasted in a little oil before adding to recipes.
