Equipment
Ingredients

- 20-25 cloves Garlic
- 6- 8 Dried red chillies adjust per spice tolerance
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds white or brown
- ¼ cup Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon oil optional

Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet or pan and roast cumin seeds, garlic cloves and dry red chillis over low heat for few minutes. Keep stirring frequently. Once they are slightly browned, turn off the heat. Remove them in a plate.
- Put the skillet back on the heat. Dry roast sesame seeds and peanuts over low heat until seeds start to pop. Keep stirring frequently. Turn off the stove and transfer to plate.
- Let the roasted ingredients cool down completely. Then add all these roasted ingredients and salt in grinder or food processor jar.
- Grind them until it becomes a coarse powder. The oil from sesame seeds and peanuts should start to bind everything together.
- Add flax seed meal or coarse ground flaxseed to the grinder jar. Using the PULSE setting only couple times, grind everything well together. Do not over grind at this step. Adjust the salt to taste.

Notes
For a perfect texture of this dry chutney, use corsley ground flax seed ( Also called Flax seed meal)
This chutneys makes a big batch. I like to store it in 3-4 small air tight containers. The key to retain freshness is to avoid the contact with any sort of moisture including water or condensation.
