Pappad Chammanthi is a traditional styled innovative side dish prepared from fried pappad, coconut and other spicy ingredients. The tasty dish goes well with rice for noon day meals. When you are out of stock and you want to relish something special, then this is your dish. You require just a few minutes for the dish. For spiciness, either you can use chilly powder or the full dried chilly. For moderate spiciness you can prefer Kashmiri Chillies. The red chilies add some heat and smoky flavor to the chutney. This Kerala style Pappad Chammanthi also makes a good accompaniment with South Indian tiffin snacks like idli, dosa, chapathi etc. Chammanthi is very common in Kerala households and this is a tasty traditional variant that requires minimum ingredients. The juices and flavors from the fresh coconut comes out beautifully when ground in the traditional way. Very little water is added to grind this chutney, just enough to bring all the ingredients together. This is a thick coconut chutney and no tempering is added to it.
