Flaxseed is a powerhouse of nutrition. Flaxseeds are a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids for vegetarians and a very diabetic friendly ingredient. Optimum amount of 1-2 tbs flaxseed can be consumed per day. Ground flaxseed can be added/ sneaked into curries, roti's, salad, porridge and even smoothies.
Can be had as a side with idli/ dosa along with sesame oil or even with hot steamed rice topped with ghee/ sesame oil.
1 cup flaxseed
3/4 cup urad dal
1/2 cup groundnuts
2 tbs sesame seeds
Handful of curry leaves
6-8 dry red chillies (number depends on chilli variety)
1 ts asafoetida
Small piece of tamarind (optional)
5 garlic cloves (optional)
1 ts oil
Preparation
Dry roast flaxseed, urad dal, groundnuts and sesame seeds separately in medium flame until they change colour and become fragrant. Spread the roasted ingredients in a wide plate.
Roast curry leaves, red chillies, tamarind and garlic cloves together in very little oil. Toss repeatedly for 2-3 minutes in medium flame until curry leaves become crisp and the contents become devoid of their moisture.
Combine all the roasted ingredients in a wide plate. Add asafoetida and needed salt to the hot mixture. Mix well. Allow them to cool completely for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Grind the ingredients to a coarse powder. Store in a airtight container.
