Coconut chutney

Coconut chutney is a south Indian accompaniment which goes well with dosa, idli and medhu vada. It can be prepared in many ways but this recipe turns out to be really good.  I am thankful to one of my Malyali friend at school for sharing with me her recipe.

Preparation Time5 minutes
Cooking Time5 minutes

For chutney:

  • ½ cup freshly grated coconut
  • 10 - 12 fresh curry leaves
  • 2 -3 green chillies
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 inch of finely chopped ginger
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 4 tbsp of water

For tempering:

  • 1 tbsp of coconut oil 
  • ½ tsp of mustard seeds
  • 3 small red chillies
  • 8-10 curry leaves

  1. Grind all the ingredients in a mixer.
  2. For tempering:  Heat coconut oil in a small pan or kadai. Add mustard seeds, curry leaves and red chillies. Once the mustard seeds splutter, pour the chutney into the pan and heat it for just 2 minutes. Make sure the chutney does not boil to avoid curdling. For retaining the flavor, cover the pan with a lid after the flame is switched off. Let it cool outside or in a refrigerator before serving.

  • To bring some variation to this coconut chutney, the curry leaves can be replaced by green coriander leaves and ginger can be replaced by a garlic clove.
