Agasi(Flax seed,ಅಗಸಿ) Chutney powder

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,





Agasi chutney (ಅಗಸಿ) is also one of the common powders in the food in North Karnataka. It is served with curds with rotti or chapattis. The taste is unique.
It is called Flax seed in English.
Here is the link for details:

It is prepared the same way as we prepare the Shenga (Peanut) chutney.
Here is the recipe,
Agasi(flax seeds) - 1cup
Chilli powder - 1 to 2 tbsp as per your taste
Curry leaves - 2 lines
Tamarind - 2 tbsp
Garlic - 4 to 6 big one(we get in UAE) or full one bulb if it is Indian.
sugar - 1 tsp
Salt to taste Turmeric a pinch
Roast flax seeds till aroma comes out.Let it cool. Mix all the ingredients and put in a mixie and make it to a powder.
The powder is ready and you can store it for 15 days in a dry place.
Enjoy with jowar rotti or chapattis.
Keep smiling,

  1. Hi Nivedita,
    Recently came to know the benefits of flax seeds and was wondering how to include it in our daily diet. Tried this and it came out exceptionally well. Going to try your other recipes soon. Thanks a lot.

    if you are staying in Bangalore(I checked your profile), you can check with any North Karnataka groceries for these flax seeds. they are called "Agase" in Kannada.
    before also some one has searched for it in Bangalore but in vain ,
    if you know any one in Hubli or Dharwad you can tell them to send it for you..
