Shirish Masala Stone Flower Spice 50 Gram | Pathar Phool | Dagad Phool | Chhabila | Kalpasi Spice | Permalia Perlata | Rock Flower Stone | Patthar Ke Phool | (50 Gram Pack of 1)
Shirish Masala’s Stone Flower Spice is a dried lichen known across India by names such as Patthar ke phool, kalpasi, and Dagad phool. NONG Store has verified this product contains no onion and no garlic, making it safe for Jain, Vaishnav, satvik and vrat kitchens.
The spice offers an strong earthy aroma and a very dry, light‑fluffy texture. When torn into small pieces and roasted briefly in a little oil, it releases its full fragrance, allowing a pinch to lift the flavor of pav bhaji, curries or biryani.
It is a traditional ingredient in Chettinad, Maharashtrian Goda, Lucknawi Potli and North Indian garam masala blends, and also works as a soup thickener for hearty stews. Keep the spice in a cool, dry place and handle it with a dry spoon, tearing it like cellophane tape rather than grinding.
As described by Shirish Masala on their product listing. Always check the physical label for the definitive ingredient list. NONG Store verifies only the No Onion No Garlic status.
