Great recipe and easy to follow! I submitted a review, but I think it went through before I was able to finish one of the sentences. Anyway, I am not able to see where the reviews are posted. I hope you got it! Thanks for the recipe as I’ve long been wanting to use the flaxseed or ‘alsi’ in the pantry for a dry chutney…and this is the first time I’m making dry chutney. I made it with some variations and it was yummy with dhirda … I have a little extra which I have stored in the fridge as suggested. I look forward to enjoying it with various dishes this month!
