Nadan Chammanthi podi is a dry version of chutneys famous throughout Kerala.This is a very spicy,tangy, flavorful combination that can be served with plain rice during travel or with kanji (rice porridge).This is very simple to prepare with the available ingredients in our kitchen.
Roast the Redgram Dhal, Blackgram dhal, Red Chillies and Curry leaves together in a Frying pan/Cheenachatty. When the colour of the mix turns into golden, take the Frying pan/Cheenachatty out from the stove and keep it aside to cool.
Also roast the grated Coconut in a Frying pan/Vessel and when the colour of the grated Coconut turns into golden, put off the stove and allow to cool it for some time.
After about 5 – 10 minutes, grind the roasted Blackgram dhal, Redgram dhal, Red Chillies, Curry leaves and grated Coconut along with required quantity of Salt and Tamarind.
Naadan Chammanthippodi is ready. This Chammanthippodi can serve with cooked rice (mix the rice with the Chammanthippodi along with Cococonut/Sesame Oil or Ghee)
