About the recipe

Flaxseed Chutney powder is a super healthy spice mix which is quick simple and easy to prepare. Bursting with nutty flavor of flaxseeds and other spices used, it is a keeper recipe for all the foodies, health conscious and busy bees!!

Here I am today with a simple yet delicious dry chutney powder, that is so versatile and can be used as a side or accompaniment with your breakfast, lunch or dinner.

It's a regular at my house and I add it in yogurt, chass(Indian buttermilk), sprinkle on buttered toasted or have it parathas. Almost on anything and everything (savory dishes) you can use this wonder spice mix! And the best part is that it stays good for a couple of months !!

Yes, I call it a wonder spice mix as all the ingredients used in it are beneficial for health in one or the other way.

Benefits of Flaxseeds

Flax seeds are one of the popular super seeds available. and are getting popular day by day. In India these are known by different names. Like Alsi in Hindi(Northern States), Tessi in Bihar, Tesshi in Bengali language, Jawas in Maharashtra, Agase in Karnataka, Ali Vidai in Tamil, Avise Ginzalu in Andhra Pradesh.

These seeds are known to be one of the oldest cultivated crop these are popular health food world wide. Nowadays commonly used for eggless baking(Flax gel) and recommended by nutritionist if you are on a weight loss, cholesterol free diet.

Power house of nutrition these seeds have nutty flavor. For people who do not eat fish especially vegetarians and vegans these seeds are the best and natural source of OMEGA 3 FATS.

Rich source of protein fiber, keep blood sugar level in control. It's consumption increases feeling of fullness thus keep hunger pangs away. So it's, good for those on weight loss diets. These are also known to be good for digestion.

How we can use Flaxseeds in our diet

These days these are being added to the popular Indian Mukhwas with other seeds like sesame seeds, fennel seeds, coconut and anise seeds. Mukhwas are popular after meal snack or mix trail of seeds like fennel seeds, sesame seeds and other digestion promoting ingredients.

Condiments

My teenage daughter love spicy food and she also like me doesn't like to chew on these seeds. So this Chutney comes so much handy to me as in some way she can have flaxseeds with her meals.

This chutney mix is so regular in my house, I wondered why I didn't posted it on my blog. It just stuck me two days back while adding it to aloo paratha mix for kids, that how can I forget to post this Super Condiment recipe on my blog!!

So here I am for the with healthy Chutney powder that you can use in so many ways! In Southern India this dry powder is very popular but there they add lentils like chana dal or urad dal to it. This is more of a North Indian Version, where we do not add any lentils.

How to make Flax Seeds Chutney

There is no standard recipe for this chutney. Main ingredients are flaxseeds and the other ingredients depend on individual preferences. I make it quite a simple way and add sesame seeds in winters. In summers I skip sesame seeds as these are known to generate body heat. Adding chilies also depends upon how individual's heat tolerance. I keep it to medium not too fiery hot.

Many people like to make a wet chutney but I like the powdered/dry version as I can store it for a couple of months and use it conveniently whenever required.

Ingredients for Flax Seeds Chutney

Flaxseeds, Cumin Seeds, Dry Whole Red Chilies, Black Salt, Sesame Seeds(in winters), Garlic. You can also use roasted peanuts/walnuts if you don't have any peanut or nut allergies.

Health benefits of Garlic and Flaxseed Chutney

Cumin Seeds not only add on to the taste of spice mixes and food it also aids in digestion and is beneficial in cold and cough.

Sesame Seeds have their share of health benefits known to most of us. These increase the heat of body thus help to keep it warm in winters. Aids in digestion, rich in calcium so support strong bones and are good for hair and skin and many more.

Garlic is anti-inflammatory and helps to fight body with cold cough and other infections along with keeping a check on Cholesterol levels.

With the many other numerous health benefits of the ingredients used in this SUPER CONDIMENT, let's see how to make it.

  • Dry roast Flaxseeds, cumin seeds, sesame seeds(if using) separately separately in a pan one by one, till it gives nutty aroma. Transfer in bowl or dish to cool.
  • Roast sesame seeds till it starts to turn light brown. Take care not to burn the seeds.
  • Dry roast whole red chillies and garlic cloves.
  • Once all the ingredients cool down, grind to fine powder. I use my coffee grinder to grind masalas or spice mixes.
  • Add in black salt/pink Himalayan salt and give a pulse again.
  • Transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate.

How we can use Garlic Flaxseed Chutney

  • Sprinkle in salads, sandwiches, everyday subzis like Bhindi Masala or Jeera Aloo.
  • Add any yogurt preparations like in Chass(buttermilk) , raita like Lauki Raita, Ash groud Raita (and more) or even plain yogurt.
  • Add in filling like in Aloo Paratha or Aloo sandwich.
  • Relish with Dal Chawal or simply mix with rice, some ghee and relish warm rice.
  • On Khichdi(Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi, Chana Dal Khichdi).

  • Or, simply sprinkle on butter toast or have with Ajwain parathas.

Storing and Shelf Life

Store this Garlic and Flaxseed chutney in an airtight jar/bottle, prefer glass bottles. Keep in a cool and dry place. If is too hot then refrigerate it for longer shelf life.

It stays good for about 1-2 months when garlic is added. Without garlic shelf life is increased and stays good for months in refrigerator.
