Linseed/Flax seeds Chutney / जवस चटणी

Flaxseed Chutney

Linseed also known as common flax. This is called as Jawas in Marathi or Agasi/Akshi in Kannada. They contain high Omega-3 fatty acid. They may also reduce the cholesterol levels especially in women.

I have used Brown Linseed to make this Chutney.

Ingredients:

125 gm Linseed
Handful of groundnuts 

Red chilli powder to taste

salt to taste

3-4 garlic cloves

1/2 Tsp sugar

Procedure:

1. Dry roast Linseeds,Groundnuts together in a pan until the rawness goes away. You can observe that they will start popping up once they are roasted enough. That is the time you have to switch off the stove. Don't over roast them.
2. Let it cool down.
3. Once cooled totally, in a mixer add Linseed, salt,red chilli powder,sugar and grind to coarse consistency.
4. To this ground powder add minced  garlic cloves and grind in mixer again to a fine chutney consistency. 
5. Taste it and add salt or red chilli powder as per your taste.

This chutney can be served as mixed with raw oil to have with parathas or chapati.

Also,mix with yoghurt well and serve with any kind of Dosa :)

Enjoy Healthy Eating!!
