Tukmalanga (also known as Basil Seeds or Sabja Seeds) is derived from the plant Ocimum basilicum, a variety of basil commonly grown in India and Southeast Asia. These seeds are often used in beverages, desserts, and for their medicinal properties.
- Tukmalanga seeds are often soaked in water and added to drinks like lemonade, falooda (a popular Indian dessert), or milkshakes. The seeds provide a cooling effect, making them perfect for summer drinks.
- Tukmalanga seeds are used in salads or as a garnish to add crunch and a mild flavor.
