Nuvvulu / Til / Sesame seeds spice powder is popular Andhra. It is healthy and tasty spice powder usually served with idli, dosa, upma and even with hot steamed rice with some ghee / clarified butter. This particular spice powder can also be added to dry curries at the end to give a nice and unique flavor and taste to the dish. This powder is healthy too as the sesame seeds are rich in Calcium, iron and fiber. Adding flax seeds makes the dish even more healthier because flax seeds helps lower the blood presser and bad cholesterol, reduce the risk of cancer and helps in weight loss too. This recipes is from one of my friend's mom, who made this spice powder and served it with idli and dosa for a small gathering we had some time ago.

Dry roasted sesame seeds have a great flavor that I like. Addition of flax seeds give a nutritious boost as well.
These podis have always impressed me , whenever travelling to South , I get some , but truly speaking never tried them ! This one with the addition of flax seeds makes it nutritious , must try it .
Sesame podi is one of my favorite condiments. I make a diffotype of podi. Your version sounds so delicious.
Nowadays this is a staple in my pantry. Love the addition of flaxseed in there.
I keep it simple but will remember your version when I make the next batch of nuvvula podi.
I like podis a lot but always used store bought, loved this one with flax seeds. I think I too should give a try now making these at home.
This is a wonderful podi to stock always, very nicely done.
Love the addition of flax seeds. Podi looks so healthy and delicious.
Such a versatile podi. I use sesame powder a lot in some of the curries. Will try this podi sometime. Addition of dals might have given a nice nutty flavor.
