Melon Seeds (تخم خربوزہ)

Tukhm kharbuza are the pale kernels used in traditional cooling drinks, in thandai, and as a garnish across mithai and rice dishes. They are considered cooling in traditional practice, which is why they appear most in summer. Nutritionally they are one of the higher-protein seeds, and they also carry magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and unsaturated fats. The flavour is delicate and slightly sweet, so they work as easily in sweet dishes as in savoury ones.
