Coconut Chutney

Coconut Chutney is a must-have with idli, dosa and uttapam. We love South Indian food and make sure to have it once a week.

Coconut chutney is creamy, tangy and makes the cuisine taste even better. My husband makes amazing coconut chutney and I prefer him making it every time we have South Indian cuisine at home.

Few people also add roasted chana dal to the chutney but we prefer without it. The original taste of coconut is creamier and delicious. We add fresh curd instead of tamarind for the added creaminess and balanced sourness to the chutney.

It remains well for a week in an airtight container in a refrigerator.

Break coconut, wash and cut into small pieces. Wash and finely chop coriander leaves. Cut green chilli. Keep ready curd and salt.

How to use leftover chutney –

Sometimes it happens that we run out of dosa batter but still have some chutney left. I use it in curries like gobhi to make Gobhi roast, potato curries and it gives the sabzi an interesting twist making it creamier and yummy.
