Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh grated coconut
- 1 medium green chili
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 small shallots
- 1 teaspoon tamarind pulp
- 5 leaves curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Begin by gathering all the ingredients listed. Make sure you use fresh grated coconut for the best texture and flavor.
Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the fresh grated coconut.
Finely chop the green chili, ginger, and shallots, and add them to the coconut in the bowl.
Add the tamarind pulp and salt to the coconut mixture.
Gently tear the curry leaves and coriander leaves and add them to the mixture.
Drizzle the mixture with coconut oil, which will enhance the flavor and help bring all the ingredients together.
Using a mortal and pestle or a food processor, lightly crush the mixture until it becomes a coarse paste. Avoid making it too smooth; the texture should be somewhat grainy.
Taste the chammanthi and adjust the salt or tamarind pulp as needed.
Transfer the Coconut Chammanthi to a serving bowl. It can be served as a side with steamed vegetables, grilled proteins, or as an accompaniment to low-carb snacks.
