Chatti choru is a Kerala delicacy…
Chatti choru is not the name of one dish, it’s basically many Kerala dishes served on a clay pan. Vegetarian, seafood & meat dishes can be served on the clay pan. I personally prefer to separate the seafood & meat dishes.
For this chatti choru, I’ve served Kerala matta rice, beef roast- beef cooked with caramelized onions, moong bean or payar thoran- cooked with coconut, cabbage-scrambled eggs-coconut thoran, chammanthi-ground coconut, omelette & mango pickle.
How To Serve
I’ve lined the clay pan with banana leaf or vazhayila.
Serve the rice & place all the dishes on the rice, pour the coconut curry over the rice.

Ingredients
- Grated coconut- 1 cup
- 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
- Traditionally for making chammanthi, all the ingredients are ground on a stone-grinder or ammi kallu.
- I don't have an ammi kallu so I grind in a blender.
- To a blender jar, add all the ingredients & grind to a coarse paste.
- Based on your spice level, you can add green chili & chili powder.
- Don't make into a smooth paste.
- Don't add too much water & make into a watery paste, grind with less water, 2 to 3 tbsp.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- This is enjoyed with rice or rice porridge.
