DRY SHRIMPS CHUTNEY/ GALMBYACHI CHUTNEY/ YETTIDA PODI CHUTNEY. 


Dry fish chutney with steaming hot ganji/ kanjee ( rice)/ pez is one of the most enjoyed combo during our childhood days and i am sure it's one of our all time favourite dish. 

Roasted dried fish is cut into bite size pieces and added to the coarsely ground spicy coconut mixture & served with hot kanjee/ ganji. 

Different types of dried fish like mackerels, shrimps, shark, sole fish etc are used for the preparation of this chutney. 

My grandmother was an expert in preparing this dish. She used to roast fish directly on the hot coal & smear fresh coconut oil on top. Her chutney had a unique smokey fish flavour with fresh coconut oil aroma.  Moreover the masala was ground on the grinding stone to give extra taste & richness to this delicious dish. 

This is  my grandmother's recipe of dry shrimp chutney.

Preparation is very simple with just few ingredients.  Same recipe you can follow for other dry fish chutneys. Just clean fish,  fry & add tiny pieces to the coconut mixture. 

Here is a step by step recipe for the preparation. 

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 grated coconut( use as per your choice)
  • 5-6 red long chillies ( byadagi)
  • 1/2 tsp jeera
  • 2  tsp coconut oil
  • 1 small onion ( sliced)
  • Little tamarind
  • Pinch of turmeric
  • 3/4 cup dry shrimps. 
  • Salt to taste

METHOD:

Heat 1 tsp coconut oil & roast red chillies, add onion & fry , add jeera & fry. Do not burn. 

Grind these fried ingredients with tamarind & turmeric. 

Coarsely ground mixture.

Add 2 tbsp coconut & grind everything to fine paste. Use very little water. 

Add the remaining coconut & just pulse it for 5-10 seconds. 
Coconut mixture is ready. 


Wash dry shrimps atleast 3 times to clear dust & sand particles.  Drain & keep aside. 


Heat 1 tsp oil &  fry washed shrimps till they turn aromatic. ( Around 1-2 minutes)

Add roasted shrimps to the coconut mixture add salt. Mix well. 

Delicious dry shrimps chutney is ready. You can season this with fried onion.   Enjoy with steaming hot rice.
