Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 2 ounces red onion, minced
- 2 teaspoons crushed dried red chiles
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 8 curry leaves, crushed
- Juice of one lime
- 1 to 2 teaspoons salt
Method
- In a small bowl, cover the coconut flakes with the coconut water, and leave for about an hour, until the coconut absorbs all the water.
- Mix the onion, chili powder, dried chiles, and curry leaves, and grind or finely chop in a chopper. (Mortar and pestle can also be used).
- Once the ingredients are crushed and mixed thoroughly, gently squeeze the coconut to release excess water, and add the coconut to the mix.
- Mix well until coconut turns evenly red. (In Sri Lanka, this is often done with fingers).
- Squeeze in the lime juice. Mix well. Serve with curries or rice, or as a condiment to pretty much any dish.
