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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Grate the fresh coconut and set it aside.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the grated coconut, green chilies, tamarind pulp, chopped ginger, curry leaves, and salt.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots into the blender. Shallots add an aromatic depth to the chammanthi.

Step 4

Pour in about 2 tablespoons of water. This will help the ingredients blend into a smooth paste.

Step 5

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a side dish with rice, dosa, or any South Indian meal.
