Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh coconut, grated
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 1 teaspoon tamarind pulp
- 1 teaspoon ginger, chopped
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Grate the fresh coconut and set it aside.
In a blender, combine the grated coconut, green chilies, tamarind pulp, chopped ginger, curry leaves, and salt.
Add the chopped shallots into the blender. Shallots add an aromatic depth to the chammanthi.
Pour in about 2 tablespoons of water. This will help the ingredients blend into a smooth paste.
Blend until you achieve a coarse texture, ensuring the mixture is not too smooth to maintain the traditional chammanthi consistency.
Transfer the chammanthi to a serving bowl and adjust the salt to taste if needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish with rice, dosa, or any South Indian meal.
