19 FLAX SEEDS POWDER / PODI - Version 3

FLAX SEEDS POWDER/PODI WITH CHANNA DHAL AND PEANUTS( FLAX SEEDS POWDER- VERSION 3)


Cooking with flax is an excellent way to boost your intake of fiber. When ground in a pice mill or coffe grinder, flax is also a vegetarian source of omega - 3 fatty acids. Try adding this pleasant nutty flavor of freshly ground flax seeds to cereals, smoothies, baked goods and vegetable dishes.
Flax seeds are high in fat content sp store it in a freezer or refrigerator to maximise shelf life.

Have already posted Flax Seeds Powder/Podi here and Flax with Horse Gram Powder/ here

This is an other version of Flax seeds Powder/ Podi using flax seeds along with channa Dhal and Peanuts. The taste was really good and kids too loved them and had just like any chutney podi with idli/dosas.


As you all know I do add flax seeds in my cooking, adding a tsp or 2 tsp to any curries or vegetable dishes. They are also good for health and not much difference in taste. This powder is just perfect to add in the same dishes. You can enjoy the nutty and delicious flavor of all the ingredients and is all very flavorful.

Flax Seeds - 2 Cups
Channa Dhal - 1 Cup
Peanuts/Ground Nuts - 1 Cup
Red Chillies - 8 - 10
Curry Leaves - handful
Blac Pepper Corns - few by count
Garlic - Around 12
Asafoetida/ Hing - few pinch( a small piece)
Salt as needed
Oil - 1/2 tsp

First dry roast flax seeds, channa dhal, peanuts seperately till they are roasted well and in nice color. Remove/peel skin from peanuts.


Heat oil in the same pan and add curry leaves, red chillies,pepper corns and hing/asafoetida Remove and add garlic. Fry for few minutes till they are crispy. Keep both separate.

First powder flax seeds and channa dhal and then add peanuts and curry leaves, red chillies, pepper corns and hing mixture. Turn on your mixer for few seconds, until they are powdered. Next add salt and garlic( can also remove skin). Turn on the mixer again and mix well.
Transfer to a bowl and store in a airtight box in a cool place.


Add it to your favourite curries or veggie dishes or enjoy as any other chutney powder/podi.
