  • Green chili, halved- 1
  • Chili powder- ½ to 1 tsp
  • Fresh Ginger- 1-inch slice
  • Fresh Tamarind- 1-inch slice
  • Water- 2 to 3 tbsp
Instructions
  1. Traditionally for making chammanthi, all the ingredients are ground on a stone-grinder or ammi kallu.
  2. I don't have an ammi kallu so I grind in a blender.
  3. To a blender jar, add all the ingredients & grind to a coarse paste.
  4. Based on your spice level, you can add green chili & chili powder.
  5. Don't make into a smooth paste.
  6. Don't add too much water & make into a watery paste, grind with less water, 2 to 3 tbsp.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  8. This is enjoyed with rice or rice porridge.
