Ingredients for making Thenga Chammanthi
- 1/2 cup Grated Coconut
- 2 Shallots
- 2 to 3 Dried Red Chillies
- Small piece of Tamarind & Ginger
- Few Curry Leaves
Steps for making Thenga Chammanthi
Bring all the ingredients together in the grinding jar. I have thinly sliced the shallots since I had big sized shallots. You can add them as it is if your shallots are small in size. Add the required amount of salt as well.
Pulse them 5 to 6 times coarsely. If the chammanthi is not grinding well, sprinkle some water and pulse them.
Serve the Thenga Chammanthi with hot and plain rice.
Quick Tips
- While adding salt, add carefully since we don’t pour water to adjust the salt.
- You can adjust the spices according to your taste since my red chillies are spicy though I have added only 2.
- Usually tempering is not done in Chammanthi recipes. But if you needed the tempering part, you can do it.
