Chutta Pappada(m) Chammanthi - Pappadam with ground coconut


Here’s one more to the list of recipes long forgotten from my mother’s memory….a taste completely new to me. She remembered this one when I was showing a picture of Pappadam Thalichathu (recipe coming soon) . Here Pappadam (a crispy thin flatbread made of black gram flour), instead of frying, is grilled/roasted without oil and then ground with freshly grated coconut and mildly spiced with a dry red chilly and aroma therapy is provided by the fresh curry leaves and a touch of coconut oil. I felt it is a nice variation from the regular Chammanthi I have tasted and thought of featuring it here!

Ingredients:
  • 2 medium size Pappadam/Indian wafers (buy the ones from Kerala)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 large dry red chilly ( as per taste)
  • A fistful of grated coconut
  • 2-3 curry leaves
  • Salt to taste
Directions:
  • Cook Pappadam in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, you can roast/grill Pappadam over a burner, in flame, until done. Crush this into small pieces
  • Heat a teaspoon of oil in a small pan; to this add dry red chilly and immediately turn off the heat. Keep stirring and roast the chilly, until it starts to change colour( from red to brown). Pour this to the wet grinder/smallest jar of mixer (including the leftover oil from the pan), add grated coconut, crushed Pappadam, curry leaves and salt; grind till everything becomes a coarse dry paste.
  • Serve with Kuthari Choru or Kanji

  8. though i havent had it in the way written here..I pretty much did the same by mixing th rice with chammanti and papaddam..and make it into an upma 'parivam'..used to be typical lunch in school days and loved it very much..though we often had some side dish to go along with it..I cant believe it has been ages since I had this!!

  11. WOW! That's creative. My thatha didn't have any teeth, so my ajji used to grind the papad and give it to him to mix with rice! Wish she knew this dish! :)

  30. Kanji and chammandi with chutta pappadam I know, but chammandi with the pappadam is new to me. If I may ask, which part of Kerala does this recipe come from?

    ReplyDelete

    Pinne, I have never ever heard of this ripe jack fruit fritters. Did you get a naadan name for it? The chakka varuthathu I know and love is made with sliced raw jack fruit pieces.

    Dhanya, hahhah...chammanthi is diet dish only......:D all (most) my dishes are just everyday ones....the ones i cook at home for our lunch or dinner...so not much fat....so dont feel guilty while eating :))

    Cilantro,you can use appalam, the only thing is that it will give u appalam taste.....so if u re used to it, it shdnt be a prob at all.

    Superchef, simple but good :)

    Priya,yes the ones always available in ur kitchen...a quick fix too :)

    Rashmi, i love red chammathi and i love to have dosa with that type of chammathi too ...nothing weird in it :D

  57. Hi shn,
    Im a regular here. And I just have a small query if you can help. Could you tell me how you post your pics big without losing the clarity? I tried changing the height and width in html in mine, but it takes the clarity completely. Now Im using another site for enlarging but Im having my pics in another account and it links the pic html to my blog,but I hate it.
    Sorry for troubling,Wud appreciate if u cud help.
    Hope u r doing well on ur side. And wish u come back again with magical recipes.
    Cheers,
    Shabs.

  58. I have prepared this recipe. If use 2-3 shallots, it will be more tastier.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Two-three small onions and red chillis are to be dry roast along with the pappadam.Add this while grinding . This will be an another version of the dish. Do not add fried red chilles and heated coconut oil. Instead finish with fresh coconut oil after grinding. A little quantity of tamarind soaked in some water can also be added while grinding to enhance tasted which will be better while accompanying rice.
