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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by gathering all the ingredients listed. Make sure you use fresh grated coconut for the best texture and flavor.

Step 2

Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the fresh grated coconut.

Step 3

Finely chop the green chili, ginger, and shallots, and add them to the coconut in the bowl.

Step 4

Add the tamarind pulp and salt to the coconut mixture.

Step 5

Gently tear the curry leaves and coriander leaves and add them to the mixture.

Step 6

Drizzle the mixture with coconut oil, which will enhance the flavor and help bring all the ingredients together.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste the chammanthi and adjust the salt or tamarind pulp as needed.

Step 9

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.
