Flax Seeds Chutney Powder
Flax seeds are the richest source of omega 3 fatty acids. There are loads of health benefits and looking at these benefits it becomes important to include flax seeds in our daily diet. We can always add flax seeds powder to our milkshakes/smoothies or while baking cakes/cookies.
This quick and easy flax seeds chutney powder is a great way to consume flax seeds in a spicy way – chutney powder/podi prepared using flax seeds, combined with dry red chillies, curry leaves and other ingredients to make it tasty.
