Flax seeds are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and are useful in reducing blood cholesterol.now there are many more useful benefits that I have listed below.

Flax seeds are a part of most Indian diet and it is known by different names Alsi in Hindi, Aviselu in Telugu, jawas in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Ali Virai in Tamil, Agase or Agasi beeja in Kannada.
Flax seeds are these pretty teardrop shaped seeds that are smooth. As a kid we used to soak Javas in water for some time then mix our mehendi powder in it. Since the water was gel like the mehndi (we put with sticks back then) used to be finer.
The next thing I knew was I was served bhakri (jowar roti) Agase Bellulli Chutney with oil or curds. I hated both and ate them grudgingly. But now I sneak the chutney in my dals, curries and no one is any wiser.
This is an old post that I had published on 26th June 2013 I am updating with a newer format and pictures for SEO purposes.
This answer is for my daughters. Because they are healthy and good for you. Most importantly because
Here are the ingredients you will need the measures are in the recipe card
Additional ingredients you can use:
Today worldwide there is an awareness for healthy foods and Jawas is considered one of them. The synopsis of what I have read on here.
1. Flax Seeds are nutrient-rich and just 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds (7 grams) gives you just 37 calories plus omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein, lignans, some vitamins and minerals.
2. Flax seeds are a good source of protein Omega-3 Fats is an alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) for a vegetarian or a vegan who does not eat fish. ALA is one of the two essential fatty acids that your food should provide as your body does not produce them. ALA in flax seeds prevents cholesterol from being deposited and improves heart health.
3. Ligans may help reduce cancer risk and flax seeds are a good source.
4. Flax seeds are rich in soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps slow down digestion and regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol.
5. People suffering from high blood pressure benefit as flax seeds have the natural ability to lower blood pressure.
6. Is it a small wonder then that flax seeds can keep hunger at bay and aid weight control?
If you are eating 1 or 2 tablespoons every day it is fine but then there are no specific recommendations. However, as always I will say moderation is the key. Too much may mean visits to the loo too often.
1. Flax seeds are best consumed roasted, never raw or unripe as they can be toxic. You can toast them or bake them to destroy those toxins.
2. To get the nutritive benefits of flaxseeds grind them as your body cannot digest the whole seed.
For how to consume one way is
1. this awesome chutney powder mix with yoghurt or oil and enjoy with your roti or rice as a side dish.
2. Or you can add the ground powder to your dals and curries. I add this chutney many times.
3. Add the roasted and ground powder to sandwiches, mayo, mustard, especially in muffins, cakes, bread baking.
4. Ground flaxseed is an egg replacer 1 egg can be replaced with 1tbsp of flaxseed powder and 3 tablespoon of warm water.

I have always used flax seed as an add on with other pulses. This one sounds great. Will make a batch next week. And loved your answers for – Why we eat Flax seeds!
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, PJ.
Ritu says

ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Ritu.
Vaishali says
With so many health benefits, this tiny seed is a must to be incorporated into our daily diet- what could be better than this spice powder- great idea to sneak it in dals.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
That was an interesting read about usage of flax seed. I have never heard about it when I was back in India. I liked how you made mehandi using the flax seed soaked water. That is a brilliant tip and I will use that idea. Between, the chutney recipe is so simple and so versatile.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Sandhya.
Rajani says
“Mommy says so” works in my house as well, but it’s effectiveness is wearing off as the kid is growing. I used to make flax seeds podi when I was in India, have to start making it again here.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 mine is completely worn out but still, I try and hope for the best!
Rafeeda - The Big Sweet Tooth says
Aww… I love how you have posted this recipe so that your daughter can make it by herself. I always wonder if my girls would ever refer to my blog to make their recipes… hehe… This podi looks filled with goodness..
ArchanaPotdar says
Thank you.
Radha says
What a great podi! I love the flavors you have added. I make it usually without garlic, coconut, and peanuts in my flax seed podi. Love this variation and can’t wait to try.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Radha.
Usha Rao says
Flax seed chutney powder reminded me of flax seed podi I use to make few years ago. This has fewer ingredients and love all the ingredients that you use here. I made it the other day it was so good with hot rice and some ghee on the side.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Usha.
NARMADHA says
This is such a healthy and nutritious chutney powder. I always use a combination of dals with flaxseed. Going to try your way next time I am making it.
ArchanaPotdar says
Do try. Thanks.
