Chendakappa with Kanthari Chamanthi

Wooohoooo !!!!Anytime of the day, you show it to a malayalee... there will be a tingling sensation on your tongues and your taste glands will send signals to your brain !!!


Kappa, cut them into the size that you see in the pic. Bring a pot of water to boil, then add the kappa pieces and cook 'em till they are cooked ;) , till they become soft. Drain them in a colander.



Kanthari Chammanthi




In kerala, they crush shallots and kanthari on a "ara-kkal" . I love it. Here you can use a pester mortar, or alternately crush it in a chopper.

Shallots - 5-6
Kanthari  - 7-8 ( depending on ur level of tolerance for spiciness )
Coconut oil  - 4-5 tablespoons
Salt 

Crush the shallots and Kanthari . Put them into a bowl. Then add the oil and salt. Dip the Kappa in them and pop them into your mouth, sipping hot tea in between. Enjoy!!!
