Poppy seeds, called khus khus in Hindi and gasagase in Kannada, are small oil-rich seeds used whole or ground into a paste to thicken gravies in Indian cooking, particularly in Bengali and South Indian dishes. They are distinct from sesame seeds, or til, which have a stronger nutty flavour and are more commonly used for tempering or chutneys.
