Ingredients

Garnish

Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)

Main

green chillies — 4 g
salt (optional) (whole)
onion — 100 g (chopped)
Tamarind — 20 g
Fresh Coconut — 40 g
Puffed Rice — 240 g

Tempering

oil — 2 tbsp (whole)

Method

Soak the Tamarind in a little warm water for 10 minutes and extract the pulp.
Heat the oil in a large pan on low flame and add the Green Chilli, stirring for 30 seconds.
Add the Puffed Rice to the pan and toss quickly on low flame for 2 minutes so it lightly crisps without burning.
Turn off the flame and transfer the puffed rice to a large mixing bowl.
Add the onion, Fresh Coconut, tamarind pulp, and salt.
Toss everything together vigorously for a minute so the puffed rice absorbs the tangy, spiced flavours.
Garnish with Coriander Leaves and serve immediately while still crisp.
