Ingredients

1 cup flax seeds
10-12 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
½ cup shredded coconut
2 sprigs curry leaves
10-15 dry red chili
1 small piece tamarind
¼ teaspoon asafoetida hing
½-¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Heat a frying pan or kadhai. Once it is hot, reduce the flame to low.
Add the flax seeds and dry roast them until they begin to pop. Set them aside on a plate or wide pan.
In the same pan, add dry red chili. Fry them until they are crispy and puff up. Set it aside.
Next, add garlic to the same pan and fry until the raw smell goes and they turn golden brown.
To this, add curry leaves and fry until they are crunchy. Next, add coconut and fry for a few seconds.
Add salt, tamarind, and hing to this. Give everything a good mix.
Transfer it along with the rest of the ingredients. Let all the ingredients cool down completely.
Grind into a slightly coarse powder in a spice mixer.
Store in an air-tight container.

Notes

Dry-roast the ingredients on low-to-medium heat taking care not to burn them. The flax seeds are done once they begin to pop.

Do not fry the coconut for a long time, or else it will begin to release the oil, making it difficult to grind in a powdered form.

The chutney powder stays fresh at room temperature. However, I prefer to store it in the refrigerator.

Always use a clean and dry spoon for serving. Any moisture content can reduce its shelf life.
