Tomato Flaxseeds chutney recipe | Flax seed tomato chutney with step by step pictorial and video recipe. This is one of the healthy, simple and quick side dish for idli/dosas. Made with flax seeds, this is one of the new and interesting chutney that can be tried at home.

I had a box of flax seeds at home unused for a long time, thats when this chutney was tried out around in 2016. since then, i often make this at home as it became my husbands favorite chutney.

Variations:

• You can also add curry leaves to this chutney.
• I suggest using whole urad dal while sauteing, that gives better flavor than split ones.
• You can even add 2 garlic cloves while sauteing but it is optional.

caution: Flaxseeds pops out from oil and could cause burn. So i suggest keeping tomatoes ready so that if it starts popping, put in tomatoes to control popping.

there are few tomato base chutneys here: classic tomato chutney, onion tomato chutney, fried onion tomato chutney, chilli tomato chutney, etc.,
