Power Packed Chutney

Sides in an Indian meal are an essential part of a fully loaded balanced daily platter of food. They can be anything from a pickle to a rice crispy to a salad to a fritter!! The one I am sharing today is a tasty chutney packed with health and nutrition. The basic ingredient being flax seed which helps control cholesterol, diabetes, weight and many other health issues. Next come the curry leaves awesome flavour and good for the hair. Coconut and sesame seeds for the nutty taste. Peanuts for  the protein content, warmth and energy in this chilly weather. Mangosteen or kokum which has many health benefits like it is a cooler and a antihistaminic. Can be eaten with chapati, bread, curry rice and curd rice. How can you miss out on the amazing heat giving chillies? Using here the red dry variety.
You need to roast each ingredient separately.

Ingredients
1 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup dry coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup peanuts
6 dry red chillies
4 dry mangosteens (Kokum or Amsol)
Leaves from two sprigs of curry leaves
Salt to taste

Method
Roast all ingredients separately in a weee bit of oil except the peanuts. Use the ones which are already roasted and peeled. Grind all ingredients to a nice semi fine powder. Store in a bottle and keep in a cool place. If you made a big quantity store in the refrigerator for better shelf life.
