The recipe I posted has a strong taste of dry coconut as it is the core ingredient and also has a coarse texture of tiny coconut bites the way which we like.If you want a fine texture you can add fried gram(putnala pappu) or roasted urad and chana dal while grinding which adds a better texture.Read the notes for more details and adapt the recipe according to your convenience.

- Dry roast red chillies for a minute until they are warm and crisp.You can even fry them in 1/2 tsp oil.Cool them.
- Grind red chillies with salt to a powder and then add grated coconut and garlic pods and run again to a coarse powder.Do not run for long time,we need a coarse powder not fine powder.
- Store it in air tight container.
Serve it with hot rice and ghee.
You can even serve it with idli/dosa or you can even sprinkle this on vegetable stir fries like ladies finger,brinjal,potato,tindora etc.

Notes:
- You can add 1/2 cup of fried gram(roasted chana dal/putnala pappu) while grinding the grated coconut which adds a fine texture to the powder.
- Alternatively you can fry 1/4 th cup of urad dal and chana dal each in a tsp of oil separately and grind it with red chillies and salt and proceed with the same.This version is apt to be served with idli/dosa.
- You can add the chillies according to your spice levels.
- Do not add more garlic pods as it will change the flavor.
