Our Pahari Roots’ Stone flower (Patthar Phool) commonly known as a Black stone flower, is a species of lichen used as a spice in India, that grows wildly in the lush and healthy environment of Meghalaya. Carefully plucked from the barks of trees or rocks this spice has a uniquely dry, light fluffy texture to it. However, when put in contact with heat, especially cooking oil and ghee, this spice blooms and releases a distinctive earthy, smoky flavour and lovely aroma! Widely used in Chettinad and Maharashtrian cuisine and a key ingredient in store-bought Garam Masala, this ingredient adds a great touch to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
