🌿Flaxseed, Peanut & Coconut Chutney
A delicious, nutrient-dense dry chutney packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein, fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. Perfect to add flavour and nutrition to everyday meals!
🥜 Ingredients
• 1 cup peanuts
• ¼ cup flaxseeds
• ¼ cup dry coconut, grated or chopped
• 1–2 dried red chillies, or as per taste
• 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• Salt to taste
• 4–5 garlic cloves — optional
👩🍳 Method
1. Roast the peanuts
Dry roast the peanuts on a medium-low flame until they are nicely roasted and aromatic. Allow them to cool and remove the skins.
2. Roast the flaxseeds
In the same pan, lightly roast the flaxseeds for a few minutes until they begin to pop and become aromatic. Avoid over-roasting.
3. Roast the coconut
Dry roast the coconut on low heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Keep aside to cool.
4. Roast the spices and seeds
Roast the cumin seeds, dried red chillies and sesame seeds separately until aromatic. Be careful not to burn them.
5. Cool completely
This step is important. Allow all the roasted ingredients to cool completely before grinding.
6. Grind
Add peanuts, flaxseeds, coconut, sesame seeds, cumin, red chillies, salt and optional garlic to a mixer jar. Pulse until you get a coarse, dry chutney. Avoid grinding continuously, as the nuts and seeds can release oil and make the mixture pasty.
