Kalpasi, also known as Black Stone Flower or Dagad Phool, is a unique and aromatic spice widely used in South Indian cuisine, especially in Chettinad cooking. It is actually a type of dried lichen that grows on rocks and tree bark.

Kalpasi has a dark black and grey appearance with a soft, flaky texture. Though it has a mild aroma in its raw form, when cooked in oil, it releases a deep, earthy, and smoky fragrance that enhances the flavor of dishes.

This spice is commonly used in preparing biryani, curries, and masala powders, where it adds a distinctive taste that cannot be easily replaced by other spices. It is an essential ingredient in traditional spice blends like garam masala and Chettinad masala
