Til Ki Chutney

                              Til or Sesame seeds are loaded with Calcium. They are tiny but very beneficial. They are an excellent source of iron, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, zinc, fiber, thiamine, vitamin B6, folate, protein, and tryptophan. They help prevent diabetes, reduce blood pressure and also lower cholesterol besides relieving pain from arthritis.

                               Til ki Chutney can be served with Idly, Dosa, Puri, Chapathi, or Rice, but My Mom loves to serve it with Palak Paratha. 

                                            
                         The goodness of the recipe is not only from the highly nutritional sesame seeds but also the equally beneficial garlic.

1. Sesame seeds (or) Til (white) - 2cups
