TRS Poppy Seeds 100g

TRS Poppy Seeds are the small cream-white Indian variety, khus khus — paler and milder than the blue-grey European type. Ground with water they make a thick, faintly nutty paste that thickens a gravy without any flour or cream.

Best for

• Korma, and Bengali and Hyderabadi gravies
• Aloo posto and other posto dishes
• Sweets, and sprinkling over naan and breads

Using it

Soak them in warm water for twenty to thirty minutes before grinding — dry seeds are too small and hard for most mills to catch. Grind to a smooth paste with a little of the soaking water and stir it into the gravy towards the end, then cook gently, as the paste can catch and scorch on the bottom of the pan.

Pack and storage
