Unakka Chemmeen Chammanthi/ Dry Prawns Chutney
‘Unakka Chemmeen Chammanthi’ is a very tasty chutney which is usually served with ‘kanji’ or ‘rice porridge’. It is so easy to prepare and is a great side dish for rice too!
Ingredients
Dried Prawns – 1 cup
Grated coconut – 2 cups
Dry red chillies – 7
Ginger – 1″ piece
Shallots – 6
Salt – to taste
Tamarind – 3 small pieces
Coconut oil – 1 tsp
Method
Heat oil in a non stick pan and roast the chillies, ginger and shallots till the shallots turn light brown. Take it out and keep aside. In the same pan, dry roast the dry prawns. Transfer it to a mixer and add the roasted chillies, ginger, shallots, grated coconut, tamarind and salt. Grind it coarsely without adding water. Stir in between. Add more salt and tamarind if needed. Take out the chammanthi and mix well. Shape it into a ball. Mouthwatering ‘Dry Prawns Chutney’ is ready to be served!
