Sabja Seeds - Sabja Vidhai (Basil Seeds)

Sabja seeds closely resemble chia seeds and in India it is also called as falooda or tukmaria seeds. The seeds are not from holy basil but from sweet basil and we call it "Babrih Byol" in Kashmiri, "Sabja Vidhai" in Tamil and Kamakasturi seeds in Kannada. The seeds are rich in fiber and has amazing health benefits.  

Sweet basil seeds or sabja seeds are one of the under estimated ingredient in indian cooking. Not many people use these seeds despite they have many health benefits. India is blessed with many herbs and spices but many times we don’t give them their due, unless they are supported by big brands.

Basil seeds are different from chia seeds. In India people know about sabja as they are added to a popular drink falooda. The sweet basil seeds do resemble the chia seeds and is known by the names sabja seeds or falooda seeds or tukmaria in India. they are basically the seeds of the sweet basil. 

Sabja seeds are most commonly used in making falooda and can be easily added to sherbets, milkshakes and other drinks. if you ever had a falooda then you would have tasted the basil seeds. although these sweet basil seeds do not have taste of their own but they give a good texture to the dish and make it healthy too. To use, take the sabja seeds in a cup and pour water till the seeds are completely immersed. Let it soak for 30 minutes. After half an hour, the sabja seeds would have soaked up the water and would have swollen up to twice its size and a translucent gelatin like coating is formed around them. Strain the left over water and now the sabja seeds can be added to any dessert. then use these soaked seeds in drinks, coolers, sherbets, Jigarthanda, Ice creams, Falooda or Kulfis. It can also be added to chilled milk along with little rose syrup and rose petal jam to make an easy and healthy drinks. This drink is very filling, very tasty and has wonderful health benefits.
