    This recipe is OK – but do not use Khus Khus (poppy seeds)
    The black seeds are called Subja seeds or Tukmaria seeds.
    Poppy seeds are wrong and when soaked will not swell up and
    become translucent.

    Please get your facts together before posting something on the net!!

    it is the white khus khus that we grind to a paste and add to curries -they wont enlarge but u have to add black ones, they will be soaked easily and will enlarge.
