A condiment is a spice or a sauce that is served along with food to enhance the taste of that particular food. Most of us need some condiments like pickles, sauces, coconut chutney to complement some dishes like biryani, rice soup, steamed rice etc. Roasted dried prawns(which is popularly known as unakka chemmeen roast or chammanthi) is a very popular Kerala recipe which accompanies best with steamed rice. This condiment is very spicy and tastes super delicious. You can prepare this prawns condiment in bulk and keep refrigerated for weeks. But for me, it vanishes in a day itself. The simplicity and finger licking taste of this condiment makes me to try this often at my home. For this recipe, i prefer using shallots but you can use finely sliced and chopped onion instead. You can use more or less chili powder for this condiment (chammanthi) according to your preference to heat. Like so, you have to saute shallots very well over a medium flame until it turns light and golden. The addition of coconut oil in this recipe imparts a heavenly aroma and flavor.
