Stone flower (dagad phool / kalpasi)

Whole Spices

The lichen behind the smell of a Maharashtrian kala masala and Chettinad cooking.

Measures

  • 1 pinch ≈ 0.2 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
