coriander coconut chutney

coriander coconut chutney

coriander coconut chutney is another variation of coconut chutney which goes well with idli, dosavada, upma or other south indian tiffin snacks.

if you are having idli or dosa then a coconut chutney is kind of must with these snacks. i made this chutney with dosa made from ragi (finger millet) and navane (foxtail millet).

the chutney has a raw taste of coriander. so, if you don't like the raw taste of coriander then you can fry the coriander leaves in little oil and add them, while grinding the chutney.

the recipe for this chutney was taken from a cook book which i have and it turned out well. i modified the quantities a lot and the method of preparation to suit us. the chutney can also be served with sandwichfritters or pakoras. stays good for 1-2 days in the refrigerator. the next day we had this chutney with potato bonda.

there are many many variations of making coconut chutney. e.g. here is one quick recipe for hotel style coconut chutney or you can combine coconut with other ingredients to come up with chutneys like these mint coconut chutney or sesame coconut chutney.

my mixer broke down while making the chutney, so it was not finely ground as i wanted it to be. nevertheless the chutney was delicious.
