I will post a picture of the seeds.
When they swell they will look like frog eggs.

We just recovered from a shock.
Since ours is a joint family, we have a great grandmother living with us. She is in her 90s.
(Nichiro uncle knows her as she was a great fan of his childhood memories)
Tuesday we found her slurring. Took her to hospital and found out that she had a massive stroke.
It stole the strength in her left arm, leg and also she cannot swallow. She cannot even sit.
Now she has become bedridden all of a sudden, feeding milk only through the tube in the nose, and wearing pampers.
Hospital has discharged her, brought her home in an ambulance.
Now added very big responsibility for us.
I think its God's testing time for us. We will face it.
I am taking life very simple now.
Well I got a recipe from a visitor, who came to visit her.
I am posting it for you all.
Thanks Kugan98

I only know that kasa kasa means poppy seeds, which we use in making non-veg dishes.
Here in Malaysia too they call salasa seeds in Malay language as "selasih seeds.
They too say that its the seeds of Thai basil plant.

ooops.. so sorry people... i was typing this post at 3.30am.. so i was kinda all sleepy!!! hehehe..
Its called Carrot n Cauliflower Stir Fry.
Vegetarian Oyster Sauce :Ideal for stir fries or any Asian recipe that calls for Oyster Sauce. Vegetarian oyster sauce is made with mushrooms instead of oysters but still maintains the traditional asian flavour.
I have attached a pic for all of u to view it. You can get it from any asian market. Its best to use Maggie Brand.
