Agashi hindi (Agashi – Flax seed)

Agashi chutney or agashi hindi is extremely tasty and flavorful. BTW, I have read reports that chewing on agashi seeds is really effective in curing some forms of cancer. It is also used to lower cholesterol because it is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.

Ingredients:

Agashi (Flax seeds) – 150 grams, Garlic – three bulbs, salt, and chilli powder

Process:

• Roast the cleaned flex seeds on a tawa/ frying pan till the shine on the seed disappears making the seeds brownish black.
• Allow these to cool down.
• Powder the roasted flex seeds in a grinder.
• Add peeled garlic, chili powder and salt to taste.
• Grind them well to get a nice powder.

Tips and Tricks:

• MTR sells agashi chutney packets..something to stock up when you are in India/Bangalore.

Typically Served With:

I like the way my mami from Columbia – Parineeta Mami uses it. She toasts a bagel and then sprinkles agashi chutney on it! Try it – you’ll be amazed at this Indianized bagel!! This is normally eaten with rotti and chapatti with curds.
