Khus Khus: the white poppy seed that makes curries silky
Khus khus, or white poppy seed, is a tiny cream to white seed harvested from the poppy plant (Papaver somniferum) grown in India. Known for its mild, subtly nutty flavour, it is an essential ingredient in North Indian and Mughlai cuisine, where it is mainly used to thicken and enrich sauces. We source it in bulk from our Indian partners to offer you a pure, untreated seed.
Why choose whole seeds?
Sold whole, khus khus keeps all its freshness and natural oils until you're ready to use it. Soaked for a few minutes in warm water and then blended, whole seeds release a smooth, creamy white paste that is far finer and more fragrant than a pre-ground powder, which loses its aroma quickly and can oxidise.
Culinary uses:
- Soaked and blended into a paste to thicken kormas, malai kofta and Mughlai sauces
- Added to cashew pastes for an even silkier texture
- Sprinkled over naan, kulcha and breads for a crunchy touch
- Used in biryanis to gently bind the sauce
- Stirred into desserts and Indian sweets such as kheer
- Combined with coconut in certain South Indian preparations
Origin and quality:
Our khus khus is sourced in bulk from Indian producers and grown without pesticides, guaranteeing a natural, premium-quality seed.
Storage:
To preserve all its aroma, store your khus khus in a dry place, away from light and humidity, in its airtight packaging.

Pourquoi choisir Khus Khus – White Poppy Seeds from India de La Table Indienne ?
Fraîcheur et qualité exceptionnelles
Nos épices sont importées directement d'Inde et conditionnées à la demande pour garantir une fraîcheur optimale. Contrairement aux épices vendues en grande surface qui peuvent rester des mois sur les étagères, nous veillons à ce que chaque épice conserve toute sa saveur et son arôme.
Authenticité et traçabilité
Chaque épice provient de régions spécifiques en Inde réputées pour leur savoir-faire. Nous travaillons directement avec des producteurs locaux qui cultivent leurs épices de manière traditionnelle, sans pesticides ni produits chimiques.
Comment bien utiliser cette épice ?
Pour révéler tous les arômes, nous recommandons de faire légèrement griller les épices entières à sec dans une poêle avant de les moudre. Conservez-les dans un endroit sec et à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver leur fraîcheur le plus longtemps possible.
