Flax Seeds Idli Podi Recipe | Flax Seed Chutney Powder with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Chutney powder or Idli podi is perhaps a must-dish in most of South Indian families. Traditionally it is made with a combination of lentils and spices ground to a coarse powder. However, it can also be made with other healthy seeds and flax seeds are one such easy and simple chutney podi recipe.
I have posted quite a few chutney pudi or idli podi recipes on my blog. However, I always end up making this flax seed chutney powder for our personal family use. There is no question about the taste of it, but I make this because of the health benefits. It is most commonly known for lowering blood cholesterol, particularly the low-density lipoprotein. In addition, it is also known to reduce blood pressure and is hence ideal for heart patients. Apart from this, it can also improve gut health and help to recover from constipation. Nevertheless, it is a tasty lip-smacking chutney powder and can be used for any purpose. I mainly make it for idli and dosa, but also a good choice with roti sabji.
Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to flax seeds idli podi recipe. Firstly, I have added a range of spices and I have fried them individually. This helps to fry different ingredients at different temperatures and it does not burn it. Secondly, I have not added garlic pods to this chutney powder. Adding fried garlic pods helps to elevate the flavor and taste, but may not be suitable for all occasions. Lastly, due to the nature of the dry ingredients used in preparing this recipe, it has a long shelf life. Yet, you need to store it in an airtight container. You can also keep the container in the fridge to preserve the freshness.
