Frequently Asked Questions

Are poppy seeds legal in India?

Yes — culinary poppy seeds (Khus Khus) are completely legal for food use in India and are widely used in Indian cooking. They contain negligible opiate content and are safe for all ages in culinary quantities.

What is the difference between sortex and regular poppy seeds?

Sortex poppy seeds have been mechanically cleaned to remove impurities, dark seeds, and debris, resulting in uniformly white, high-quality seeds. Regular poppy seeds may contain more impurities and less uniform colour.

How do I make poppy seed paste for korma?

Soak 2 tbsp poppy seeds in 1/4 cup warm water for 2 hours. Drain and blend with a little fresh water to a very smooth, creamy paste. This paste naturally thickens and enriches korma, navratan, and Mughlai gravies.

Can poppy seeds go rancid?

Yes — poppy seeds are high in oils and can turn rancid, especially in warm, humid conditions. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 6 months of opening for best quality.
