A: Khus khus is widely used in korma gravies, Bengali posto dishes, aloo posto, payasam, halwa, and as a topping for breads and baked goods. It can be ground into a smooth paste for curries or used whole to add texture to sweets and baked recipes.

Q6. Are poppy seeds legal to buy and use in India?

A: Yes. Culinary poppy seeds (khus khus) are legal to buy, sell, and use in India for cooking and food purposes. They are a widely used kitchen ingredient across Indian households and restaurants.

Q7. How should I store poppy seeds to keep them fresh?

A: Store khus khus in an airtight container in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. Since poppy seeds have a high natural oil content, they can turn rancid if exposed to heat, light, or moisture for extended periods.
