Speedy-Seedy Chutney

Do you want to try a new way to eat your seeds?? Well, try this way - it might be new to you but in my family this recipe has been passed down since many generations... I love to eat this chutney with a tsp of raw groundnut oil and hot chapati. Another way I like it is with hot rice, 2 tsp of ghee and some chutney on top. You can come with more creative ways to eat it with grilled meat or sprinkle on top of your pasta and sandwich!





 Ingredients:
Sesame seeds(~1/2 cup)
Flax seeds(~1/2 cup)
Cumin seeds(~1/4 cup)
Coriander seeds(~1/4 cup)
Sugar(~ 1tbsp)
Salt(~ 2tbsp)
Red chilly powder(~ 3tbsp)

Method:
1. Take equal proportion of sesame seeds and flax seeds and toast them on a dry pan till the sesame seeds turn brown. Remove and set aside to cool.
2. In the same pan, dry roast the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Remove and set aside to cool.
3. Grind the roasted seeds with salt, sugar and red chilly powder to a coarse consistency.












Note:
1. The measurements are given as a rough estimate. You can adjust the salt and chilly level based on how spicy you want the chutney. I usually like mine spicy.
2. Make sure to add sugar because that is to balance all the pungent flavors of flax seeds, cumin seeds and coriander seeds.
