Coconut chutney/thenga chammanthi is a perfect dish when we think of homely food.I use to have chammanthi than any other dish.And if it there is some moru.My amma is prepared on ammikkallu before the wide use of mixer,which tastes heaenly and no mixer can give you that taste.My father-in-law's favourite dish is it for lunch.
