Chammanthi for Biriyani

CHAMMANTHI FOR BIRIYANI

Biriyani is incomplete without salad, pickle, pappad and the one and only special chammanthi. Towards Kozhikode, Malappuram etc I haven't seen any hotel serving a biriyani without this specialty as a side. 

The logic behind serving this Coconut-Coriander leaves-Mint chammanthi is that you will not feel heavy and tired after eating biriyani. 

Ingredients:

1. Grated Coconut- 1 cup

2. Garlic- 1

3. Ginger- 1/2 inch piece

4. Coriander leaves- 5 springs

5. Mint leaves- 2 tbsp

6. Lime juice- 2 tsp (can be substituted with 2 tsp of Vinegar)

7. Green Chilli- 5

8. Salt- as required

Grind Coconut, Garlic, Ginger, Coriander leaves, Mint Leaves and Green Chilli to a fine paste. Mix Lime juice or Vinegar. Adjust salt. Mix well.

Serve with your Biriyani and enjoy.
