Stone Flower

Our Stone Flower from Kerala is a unique, earthy spice harvested from the forests of the Western Ghats. Also known as "Pathar Phool" or "Kalpasi," it is a rare lichen that adds a distinct, smoky flavor to traditional Indian cuisine. The spice is characterized by its dark, flaky appearance and mild, woody aroma, which enhances the taste of rich gravies, biryanis, and meat dishes. Stone flower is often a key ingredient in regional masalas, particularly in Chettinad and Mughlai cooking.
