GODAWARI Jawas Chutney, Godawari SHG, Natural Ingredients, No Artificial Colour, Pack of 100 gm

Jawas is the Marathi name for flaxseed (alsi). Jawas chutney is a dry, crumbly chutney — the seeds are roasted and ground with chilli, garlic and salt in most home versions — and it's eaten sprinkled beside bhakri or chapati, or mixed with a little oil or curd.

This 100 g pack of GODAWARI Jawas Chutney is made by Godawari SHG, a women's self-help group in Amravati district. The listing doesn't give the exact recipe, so check the pack for ingredients.

How to use it

• A spoonful beside bhakri, chapati or thalipeeth.
• Mixed with a few drops of oil or curd to make a quick side.
• Sprinkled over plain dal-rice.

Keeping it well

• Use a dry spoon and close the pack tightly — dry chutneys go soft and stale when they pick up moisture.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• Check the pack for the ingredient list, best-before date and storage advice.

The same Amravati group also makes Awala Pickle and Awala Muramba.
