I like how chef kunal bring new n interesting food stuff n explains it. I have not found this kind of series earlier anywhere, straight from the spot. ❣️Amazing work.
Since you and other few chefs like you came out....you people actually gave the food that we eat a complete new backgroud....you show the people that the food that we eat has got its complete history,geography and science....the journey of common things and how it's changed with time.... History and Science has always been my favourite ones and how not food....what you do sir is very amazing,love to watch them and learn form them.🌸🌺
Wow! Never knew we eat Lichen! As a bio student have studied them so much. They are a symbiotic association between algae and fungi....they do photosynthesis bcoz of the algae in them, and fungi gives it support....and btw, they are awesome indicators of air pollution. Lichen does not grow in areas where there is lot of air pollution.
Thanks Chef Kunal ... I am scientist, work especially on this group of organism. I identify them in to different species (taxonomy). In India we have about 2900 species of lichens and in the world about 20000 species. I will use your video in my presentation.

My mom used it with garam masala nd I loved to eat biryani ND I tried ur hyderabadi dum biryani both veg ND non veg recipe ND it was just awesome thanks❤️❤️
Kalpasi is such an exotic spice. Its a lichen that you peel off a tree, and then you can cook it. I find that so fascinating. I wish I could understand the video. If there were subtitles that would be great but I can just listen to the Hinglish and pick some of the english words lol.
Thanks for this awesome video. I had been using it for years without even knowing what it is and where it came from. I always add it to biryanis and masala chicken curry. It lends and amazing flavor.
In sambalpur (Odisha),we all add this masala while making masala for sabji or anything. Seeing this being used since my grandma time...It enhances the flavour of masala manifold..
From uttarkhand.... I used to collect it from forest during my childhood...😊 Came to know about it's use as spice when I want Maharshtra for my post graduation.... Thanks for the detail sir..
Thank you Chef for this video. It helped me with the right information to use this spice. Actually I have it in my kitchen but didn't get any idea how to use it. Now I can use it in my cooking. ❤️

Kunal ;In Punjabi its known as chhad chhadila (ਛਾੜ ਛੜੀਲਾ)। Dagadphool is its Mararthi name. I too am an avid researcher of Indian herbs and spices and 've consulted ample of Indian Pharmacopea books. निघंटु शास्त्र। Connoisseurs know the use of it in pulaos etc. But is to be used sparingly.
Well pronounced Kunal Kapur. Thats how we pronounce in Tamil "Kalpaasi" . Well done. We love our language as much as our food. We use it widely but mainly in Chettinad cuisine. This is very good informative video. I hope you will travel all over India and the world promoting spices which are medicines .
Actully this is the symbiotic form of fungus and algae.... and these are pollution indicator.... wherever pollution is less there this lichens grows more in number....

Thanx kunnal sir for herbal and delicious
How about a series on leafy vegetables all over india and also various flowers cooked all over india
Much impressed.....good job
Lichen is combination of algae and fungi
It's a symbiotic relationship
Algae make food and fungi absorb phosphorous from bark or where it grow
Exactly true I read in 7 th class
Thanks ,dear!
Symbiotic association ☺☺☺
Oh no science i am out
It's natural indicator too
Wow ye humne bachpan mai bahut dekhe hai ye ped par hota hai🙏
In Allahabad we call it charila, and used it in pulao and tehri. It is extremely aromatic.
Chiraita,u mean to say
@@vivektripathi8892 no chiraita is different. we call stone flower as charila and in other places known as chabila.
@@duskyme ok
Hame bhi charila.. Hi lag lhaa hye.. Ye hm log ahami qbab me istemal krte thye.. Aor ye hm log bhi allahabad me hi istemal kia hye..
True knowlwdge and no showoff
Actully this is the symbiotic form of fungus and algae.... and these are pollution indicator.... wherever pollution is less there this lichens grows more in number....
Wow thanks for the info
Yes it's available in araku (A. P)
Great information
Interesting info....I am in the US and will definitely look for it since there is less pollution here compare to India.
