Where to find thai basil seeds?

Apparently these seeds become gelatinous when placed in water and are used similarly to tapioca pearls in bubble tea. Anybody know where to find them. I don't think Kalustyan's has them

What JungMann said. I'd recommend Kalustyan's, as they have one of the best selections and the prices are decent.

These seeds are a popular addition to falooda in South Asia. You can find them at the Indian grocers in Curry Hill, usually just labelled "Basil seeds." If you don't find those, ask the grocer for falooda seeds or sabja.

Did you try Bangkok Center Grocery on Mosco St. between Mott and Mulberry in Chinatown? That would be the first place I'd go. Or, since Chinese people also use them, you could try any number of Chinese stores in Chinatown, including Hong Kong Supermarket on the corner of Hester and Elizabeth.
