Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh coconut, grated
- 3 pieces Shallots
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Tamarind pulp
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 5 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel the shallots and ginger, and chop the green chilies.
Step 2
In a frying pan over low heat, add the coconut oil. Once heated, add the curry leaves and fry until they are crisp. Remove them from the oil and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut, shallots, green chilies, ginger, tamarind pulp, and salt. Mix well to blend the ingredients.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a grinder or food processor. Add the fried curry leaves and pulse until a coarse paste forms. The Chammanthi should not be too smooth; a coarse texture adds to the authenticity.
Step 5
Taste the Chammanthi and adjust the salt and tamarind to your preference if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the Nut-Free Coconut Chammanthi to a serving dish.
Step 7
Serve this flavorful accompaniment with rice, dosa, or idli for a traditional South Indian meal experience.
