Chammanthi Podi or Chamanti Podi is a popular South Indian dry powder for rice and tiffin that is made with roasted coconut, lentils, and spices.
To make Chammanthi Podi, coconut and lentils are roasted until they turn golden brown and fragrant, and then they are ground with spices like dried red chilli, coriander seeds, dals and curry leaves. The resulting powder can be mixed with a little bit of water or oil to form a paste that can be used as a dipping sauce or a condiment.
Chammanthi Podi is commonly served with South Indian breakfast items like dosa, idli, or appam, but it can also be enjoyed with rice or as a spread on sandwiches or crackers. It has a complex flavor profile that is both spicy and savoury, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut.
