Chammanthi podi is a dry condiment and chutney[1] from the Indian state of Kerala. Regular coconut chutneys would spoil the same day without refrigeration; making Chammanthi podi was a way to preserve chammanthi for months. To make chammanthi podi, shredded coconut and spices are dry-roasted in a pan to help evaporate the moisture from the mixture. Then the mixture is ground up and stored to be used later.[2] The word chammanthi means chutney or sauce, and the word podi means powder (in Malayalam).
