Coconut Chutney
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Coconut chutney is a very common chutney most of us make on a day to day basis. Other than Tempering, this recipe doesn't need any cooking. So easy and quick to make and also a great accompaniment for variety of South Indian food like Idli / Dosa / Upma / Bajji / Bonda etc.

In Restaurants, by default for any Dosa / Idli Varieties, there will a minimum of 4 accompaniments. We usually have Sambar, Coconut Chutney, Green Coconut Chutney, Tomato Chutney and some times we have Idli Podi too. Sometimes, the sambar may be diluted or with a different taste that we are not that much fond of. Most of the times the restaurant Tomato Chutney are always so spicy. So my kids always depend on the coconut chutney. They call it as "White Chutney" and they want only that white chutney with dosa/idli and for me its always my lifesaver.

Notes

  1. Instead of Green Chili, we can add red chili while grinding. 
  2. If we add mint and coriander leaves to this chutney, we will get yummy Coriander-Mint Chutney
  3. You can add roasted peanuts instead of roasted gram dal. You can also substitute it with cashews.
  4. Add some ginger and grind curry leaves along instead of tempering to take the flavor to the next level
