Step 1
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 dried red chilies and toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add 1.5 cups fresh coconut and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the toasted chilies, toasted coconut, 1/2 medium onion (roughly chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water.
Step 4
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
Step 5
Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and pulse to combine. Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed.
Step 6
Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
