1. What is "khus-khus"? Is it the same thing as cous-cous?

2. It's on the ingredients list, but I didn't see anywhere it was used in
the recipe.

I'm guessing it's the grass, not the poppy seeds, but either one would be
interesting and neither would probably be missed.

Yes, I would definitely say that this khus-khus was white poppy seeds,
and not that longtailed critter from New Guinea.

Hi Bob:

Khus-khus is not cous-cous although it looks like cous-cous. It is an
optional ingredient in Thandai, I will mention that in the recipe...
