tukmaria seeds (ocimum pilosum)

Tukmaria seeds have many other names for example Takmaria. See the database entry in the link below.
Tukmaria are the seeds of ocimum pilosum which is an aniseed-scented basil.
They are used in Indian cooking, especially cooling drinks.
As with most seeds, it's best to soak them first in water. Just put 1 or 2 T in a glass of water and soak them overnight in the fridge.
