You are right Suja, sabja seeds are also called basil seeds.
I will post a picture of the seeds.
When they swell they will look like frog eggs.
Thanks. kugan98

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
