Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh grated coconut
- 2 small shallots
- 1 large green chili
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 5 leaves fresh curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the shallots into small pieces.
Slice the green chili into small rings. Adjust the quantity of green chili based on your spice preference.
In a dry blender or food processor, add the grated coconut, sliced shallots, green chili rings, ginger, curry leaves, tamarind paste, and salt.
Pulse the mixture several times until you get a coarse and slightly chunky paste. Be careful not to over-process, as the mixture should remain slightly textured.
Transfer the coconut mixture into a mixing bowl.
Heat coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
Pour the warm coconut oil over the chammanthi mixture and mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Taste and adjust salt or tamarind as needed according to your preference.
Serve immediately with paleo-friendly sides like grilled chicken or cauliflower rice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
