Sunflower Seeds HinDi

HinDi is a rustic North Karnataka Speciality. Its basically a spicy powder made with groundnuts or sunflower seeds or roasted channa dal or even with flax seeds. It is usually mixed with curd or ghee and eaten with chapatis, bhakri (jowar roti), idli or dosa.

 It can be stored for 10-15 days. When ever you are short with time or bored of cooking, hinDi is a good option to eat with chapatis. At least one or two different types of hinDi are always there in our pantry. We love to eat it almost every day. 🙂

Ingredients

Method :

• Take sunflower seeds in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 5-6mins. Do stir it in between so that seeds are roasted evenly (this step is for raw sunflower seeds, if using roasted seeds then this step can be skipped).
• In a mixer jar add roasted sunflower seeds, roasted groundnuts, salt, red chili powder, garlic and oil and grind it to powder.
• Transfer it to a air tight container and store it in a dry place.

Note :

• Can be made without adding garlic.
