Traditional Composition and Quality
We are proud to offer our premium Char Magaz, a traditional blend of four distinct kernels that is a staple in Mughal and South Asian cuisine. The term "Char Magaz" translates literally to "four kernels," representing a specific combination of seeds derived from the melon family: Watermelon, Cantaloupe (Muskmelon), Cucumber, and Pumpkin. Each seed is carefully extracted, shelled, and dried to ensure a product that is free from impurities and shells.
As a distinguished offering within our Edible Seeds collection, our Char Magaz is selected for its freshness and uniform quality.

Flavor Profile and Texture
Char Magaz is prized not for an overpowering flavor, but for its subtle, nutty sweetness and rich mouthfeel. The seeds possess a mild, milky taste that acts as a neutral base, absorbing and enhancing the flavors of the spices and aromatics they are cooked with. Texturally, the raw seeds offer a soft crunch. However, their primary culinary value lies in their high oil content; when soaked and ground into a paste, they yield a luxuriously creamy and smooth consistency that adds body to dishes without the heaviness of cream or butter.
Culinary Versatility and Applications
The culinary applications of Char Magaz are extensive, particularly in the preparation of "Shahi" (Royal) dishes. It is the secret ingredient behind the velvety texture of white kormas and rich curries, serving as a natural thickening agent. In the realm of confectionery, these seeds are roasted and added to sweets like barfi and laddu, or used to garnish puddings alongside Nuts such as pistachios and almonds.
Furthermore, Char Magaz is a key component in the preparation of Thandai, a traditional cooling beverage made with milk, Spice Bazaar, and Authentic Saffron. For a modern twist, they can be sprinkled over salads or blended into smoothies for added density. They also pair exceptionally well with our Premium Dates UAE, providing a crunchy contrast to the soft fruit.

History and Processing
