A spoon of roasted flaxseed chutney with meals

Roasted flaxseeds, a small garlic clove and a few curry leaves pound into a dry chutney. One spoon with a meal is the habit. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.

Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.

Flaxseed as a chutney spoon

Flaxseeds turn nutty when they are dry-roasted and crushed. Garlic and curry leaves make the powder taste like a South Indian side, not like a supplement tub.

A spoon on dal or rice is plenty. This page does not promise any change in blood pressure. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons flaxseeds
One small garlic clove
A few curry leaves
A pinch of cumin, optional

How to prepare

Dry-roast the flaxseeds on a low flame until they pop lightly, then cool them.
Pound or grind them with garlic and curry leaves into a coarse chutney. Add no extra salt if the meal is already salted.

How to use

Eat one spoon with lunch or dinner.
Store the rest in a small dry jar and finish it within a few days.
Do not swap this spoon for blood-pressure medicine.

Helpful habits

Grind only what you will eat soon. Crushed flaxseeds turn flat if they sit for weeks.
A steel spoon through hot rice is enough. There is no need for a large handful.

Precautions

One spoon with food is the habit, not a large daily pile. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.
Drink your usual water with the meal so the seeds are not eaten bone dry. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.
Ask a doctor first if you have a narrowing in the gut, trouble swallowing, or a medicine that needs timing away from fibre. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.
