Seena's thenga chammanthi/coconut chutney as side dish for rice!!!

My good friend Seena was kind enough to let me know her secret receipe...she rarely gets into the kitchen !! Unfortunately, she has to handle cooking woes as her mom is away..But I tried this receipe of hers...and believe me ..she should be a wonderful cook!!!

Seenu, I will be waiting for more receipe of yours.

Ingredients:
grated coconut - 1 cup
a bit of jeera - 1 tsp
dry whole red chillies - 2 or 3 depending upon how hot u want it to be!!
ginger - 1 inch piece
garlic - 1 or 2 pod
curry leaves - 1 sprig
tamarind - 1 small lemon size
pearl onion - 1
salt to taste
coconut oil - 1tsp
water - to grind
Method:
Take a small frying pan and put very little oil and roast the whole red chillies.. Dont burn them.
Now in a grinder, grind these red chillies along with grated coconut, cumin seeds(jeera), ginger, garlic, curry leaves, tamarind, pearl onions, salt and just enough water to grind it to a coarse paste. Mix with 1 tsp coconut oil and serve it with hot kanji or rice..
