My mom's mango chammandi


My mother makes the best Mango Chammandi and it ticks all the right boxes. It sort of defines kerala as it is made with mango, coconut and 'kappal mulagu'. It is my brother's favorite.
Try having it with hot steaming rice and ghee.
Yummy, yum! Heaven!!
Just a word of caution - your breathe will smell of onions.

Ingredients:
Coconut - 1 cup
Mango (ripe but sour variety / moovandan preferred) - 1
Onion - 1 medium
Red chilly - 6
Salt
Coconut oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Curry leaf - 1 sprig



Method:
Cut the mango into small pieces.

Grind the coconut with the salt and red chilly. Grind into a fine paste.
Then add the onion, mango and grind.

Move into the serving vessel.
Splutter the mustard and urad dal in the coconut oil. turn off flame and add the curry leaf.
Add on top of the chammandi.
