chammanthi podi recipe | coconut chutney powder | kobbari chutney pudi with step by step photo and video recipe. chutney pudi or podi is one of the essential south indian condiments or spice powder. it is generally made with cereals or lentils and made to a fine powder. it is basically made as a taste enhancer and served as a side to breakfast recipes. one such variant is the chammanthi podi recipe, made with dry coconut as the hero ingredient.

i am not a huge fan of spice powder, but it is a must for my husband. he likes to have it for his morning breakfast, sides for his lunch and dinner with any rice options. evidently i have to stash it up with a different kind of chutney powder. he personally likes the peanut-based chutney powder but opens for other variants too. and lately, he has developed some good interest with this coconut chutney powder. basically he likes a chutney powder with a coarse texture rather than a fine powder-like gun powder. as matter of fact, even i like it that way and i personally feel it is better served in that way. having said that it is completely up to individual preference.

anyways, before concluding, i would like to highlight some tips, suggestions and variations for a spicy chammanthi podi recipe. firstly, the recipe is generally made with freshly grated coconut to have the authentic flavour taste. having said that you can also use dry desiccated coconut as an alternative. secondly, you can extend the recipe by adding roasted peanuts and/or roasted channa dal to have a unique texture and taste. yet, it is not the authentic taste and for an authentic taste, you need to stick to the original recipe. lastly, if you are serving with rice, it is best served with ghee and kobbari chutney pudi mixture.
