Chuttaracha chammanthy is a typical kerala style chutney to be had with rice. The name derives from the way the coconut pieces are burnt in fire and then ground.
Ingredients:-
Coconut pieces - 8 long ones(long enough to be held with tongs as we have to burn it in flame)
or grated coconut - 1/2 cup
coriander - 1tbsp
Red chillies - 5
Tamarind - 1 fat pinch
Refined oil - 1tsp
Salt - to taste
Prepartion:-
Burn coconut pieces in flame till it becomes slighly brown. Or, fry the grated coconut in a kadai until it turns brown. Remove it to a bowl. Add oil to the kadai and fry red chillies and coriander until it lets out a nice aroma. Please make sure not to burn them. Set it aside and allow it to cool. Once cool, add the burnt/fried coconut, coriander seeds and red chillies along with the rest of the ingredients and grind it to a coarse paste. Add 1-2tbsp water maximum while grinding.
Chammanthy is ready and you can mix it with rice and have it along with papad.
