Dried Prawns Chutney

Ingredients

• ½ a grated coconut
• 3 red madras chillies
• 10 gms tamarind
• A pinch of turmeric powder
• 20 gms dry prawns (you can find it in most local fish markets, pick the really tiny variety – prawns and not shrimp)
• Salt to taste
• ½ tsp coconut oil

Method

1. Roast the dry prawns on a pan with coconut oil.
2. Roast chillies on an open fire.
3. Mix these with grated coconut evenly.
4. To this add the tamarind, turmeric and salt.
5. Use your hand to mix this so you are almost kneading the tamarind into the mixture so the chutney turns tangy to taste.
6. When the dried, roasted chillies almost turn into a fine powder that’s when you are done.
7. Serve with boiled rice kanji and pickle.
