In a pan dry roast ½ cup flax seeds. Roast in medium flame. This will start popping up. Keep it aside.Roast 2 tbsp urad dal in the same pan.Once half done, add 2 tbsp chutney dal| pottukadalai. Both the dals will give a nice texture and volume to the Flax seeds podi. Roast till urad dal turns golden brown. Keep it aside.
In the pan add 8-9 red chili. I added less later felt it was very less spicy and then added more.Add 4 garlic cloves. You can add more if you want to get a good garlicky flavor. Add 1/3 cup curry leaves. Adding curry leaves is optional. I wanted to add curry leaves in the diet so added it in the podi. Roast in medium flame.Let the leaves turn crispy.
Switch off.Let this sit in the pan for 5 mins.Cool all the ingredients completely.
Powder in a mixie. Do not grind for too long, as the flax seeds will start leaving oil.
Spread in a plate for 5 mins to get rid of the mixie heat.Store in a clean dry jar. Flax seeds powder | flax seeds podi is ready.
I added 5 chilis later felt it is less so increased the quantity in the ingredients.You can increase the garlic to get more garlicky of the flax seeds podi.
