Kerala Achamma’s Chammanthi podi (Spicy coconut powder)

Chammanthi podi is a dry condiment from the state of Kerala. Usually, regular coconut chutney’s would spoil the same day without refrigeration, so making chammanthi podi was a way to preserve the chutney for months.
To make chammanthi podi, shredded coconut and spices are dry-roasted in a pan to evaporate the moisture from the mixture. Then the mixture is ground up and stored to be used later. The word chammanthi means chutney or sauce, and the word podi means powder in Malayalam.
