  7. The bhajiyas look crispy and inviting! Thanks for visiting my site and your comment. Regarding flax seeds, flax seeds are easily available in any regular grocery in the US or in India they are available in Bombay or Chennai too. Flax is known as alsi in hindi and ali virai in tamil, hope this information helps....Also in place of flax seeds you can use eggs in the cookies too...
