Flax Seeds Chutney Powder | Agase Chutney Powder

Flax seeds is good for health, excellent nutritious. More info reference Wiki.
It is called in kannada - Agase beja, Hindi - Alase, Tamil - Alivitaikal. Normally i used for smoothies. Now i tried to add it into chutney powder tastes good. My one of my friend(Leela) suggested to try this powder but her recipe is slightly different than my recipe. Also can be used for dry currys. Can be had with dosa, idli and it matches any tiffin.
