Finely grated coconut is roasted with a classic tempering of red onions, dried chilies, and mustard seeds until golden and fragrant, creating a texture that is both crumbly and subtly crisp. The deep, nutty aroma of the roasted coconut is perfectly balanced by the heat of the chilies and the savory, pungent notes of the other ingredients. This versatile condiment adds a powerful burst of flavor and texture to a plate of rice, curry, and even plain yogurt.
