Seedy ingredient of halva (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sesame

(Other definitions for sesame that I've seen before include "Plant cultivated for seeds providing oil" , "Open ...... is magic phrase for obtaining access" , "Small oval seeds yielding an edible oil" , "Ali Baba's opening command" , "Plant with oily seeds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
