- 3 pieces Shallots
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 5 leaves Curry leaves

Directions
Step 1
Break open the coconut and grate enough to fill one cup. Ensure the coconut is fresh and not overly dry.
Step 2
In a small pan, lightly roast the dry red chilies on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until they emit an aroma. Be careful not to burn them.

Peel and clean the shallots, cut the ginger into small pieces, and set aside.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the grated coconut, roasted red chilies, shallots, tamarind, salt, curry leaves, and ginger.
Step 5
Pulse the mixture a few times to start incorporating the ingredients. Gradually grind to a coarse paste; it should not be too smooth.
Step 6
Taste the chammanthi and adjust salt if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the chammanthi into a bowl and drizzle with coconut oil as a final touch.
Step 8
Serve the coconut chammanthi fresh alongside rice, dosa, or idli. It's best enjoyed within a day or two when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
