Tukmaria - Edible Basil Seeds
Tukmaria and sabza are another name for basil seeds. Tukmaria has a very mild flavour (rather like poppy seeds) and is generally used in light desserts thanks to its gelatinous properties when it's soaked and swells in water.
These seeds are used in Indian cooking for the dessert called Falooda which is a sweet pudding made using agar, milk, ice cream and various flavourings such as vanilla, Green Cardamom, rose water, cinnamon or fruits such as strawberry.
