Chammanthi Podi

Chammanthi Podi is a quintessential South Indian kitchen staple that turns even the simplest meal into a burst of flavor. This dry coconut chutney powder is made by slow-roasting grated coconut, curry leaves, shallots, and a mix of dry red chillies until they release their aroma and turn golden. The addition of ginger, tamarind, and a touch of coconut oil gives it that perfect balance of earthy, tangy, and slightly spicy notes.

Perfect for pairing with steaming idlis, dosas, or even plain rice, Chammanthi Podi is incredibly versatile and keeps well in a jar, ready to elevate any meal. Its rich aroma and crunchy texture make it a favorite condiment in South Indian households, proving that simplicity can be truly magical.
