These are called as aali vithai in Tamil, alasi in Hindi, avise ginjalu in Telugu and agase in Kannada.
This healthy podi recipe has flax seeds along with lentils and spices and is a delicious side dish for idli, dosa and uttapam. Flax seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially for vegetarians. They are also a good source of iron, calcium and magnesium. Apart from these nutrients, they are a very good source of dietary fiber.
I have started using flax seeds which are packed with nutrients. What better way to use flaxseed than in a simple dry chutney powder like this flax seed podi. Its a time saving dish to go with idlis or dosas especially during busy weekdays when there is no time to make an elaborate chutney.
For a quick podi idli, I just toss the idlis with this flax seeds chutney powder and sesame oil. Another equally delicious and flavorful podi that I regularly make is sesame podi.
This flax seeds chutney powder can be made in minutes and there is nothing better than the aroma of roasted lentils and spices and the resulting chutney powder. Its so much better to make homemade fresh spice powders since we can select fresh ingredients to make them.
Ground flax seeds can turn rancid quickly. So this flax seed podi needs to be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It goes well with idli and dosa. It can also be served with rice and ghee / sesame oil. Or you could even sprinkle this healthy spice powder on your poriyals, curries or salad. Lets move on to the recipe for easy flax seeds podi.
