Locally called as Bhaang or Bhangjure these seeds can only be found in Uttranchal. They look like tiny mustard seeds and well-known ingredient of Uttranchal. The chutney dish can be served at any time of the day. The taste of chutney is completely different from the normal chutney.
It's call bhang because if you eat once you will become habitual of it because of its taste, it doesn't contain any drugs or has nothing to do with the drug Hemp - says Chef Dheeraj Bhandari who hails from Uttaranchal and is trying to bring the lost recipes of Uttaranchal.
