Firstly, there are many varieties of chutney powder either based on the ingredients used; like Peanut chutney powder, Coconut chutney powder, Curry Leaves Chutney Powder, etc. Here is another variety of chutney powder prepared from Flaxseed.

Moreover, in this recipe roasting the flaxseeds is very important, roast until the flaxseeds starts popping. Also don’t make this chutney powder in big batches, after somedays it will start smelling little oily.

Health Benefits of Flaxseeds :

Nowadays, flaxseeds are emerging as a “super food” as more scientific research is going on. Just one tablespoon provides a good amount of protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, in addition to being a rich source of some vitamins and minerals.

Flax seeds are good sources of many nutrients. Their health benefits are mainly due to their content of omega-3 fats, lignans and fiber.
