Frequently Asked Questions

How much khus khus do I need per curry preparation? Typically 1-3 tablespoons per preparation is sufficient for thickening — the 100g pack provides 10-15 curry preparations depending on usage level.

Is the 100g or 200g Laxmi Poppy Seeds more economical? The 200g provides better value per gram. Choose 100g if you use khus khus occasionally; 200g for regular Mughlai or Bengali cooking use.

How do I store poppy seeds to keep them fresh? Poppy seeds have a relatively high oil content and can go rancid if stored poorly. Keep in a cool, dark location in a sealed container and use within 6 months of opening for best quality.
