Instead of White sesame seed

Sesame seeds
Use 100% of the weight. Toast lightly in a dry pan until fragrant; works identically in gravies, spice blends, and tadkas.
Poppy seed
Use 80% of the weight, soaked in hot water and ground to a paste. Perfect for thickening kormas and royal gravies without altering the pale colour.
Black sesame seeds
Use 100% of the weight. It has an earthier, slightly more bitter flavour and will dramatically darken the dish.
