Coconut Coriander Chutney

Chutney is most widely known condiment originating in India. Indian thali meals or some typical meals will be incomplete if chutney would have not been there. There are hundreds of different recipes of chutneys and there are again hundred variations to one chutney. Chutneys are meant to give your food a tickling taste. It can be hot, sweet, tangy or a combination. In olden days chutneys were made with Mortar and pestle, some people do it still. I remember my mother doing this way and the taste of it was just awesome. Now the mortar and pestle has been replaced with gadgets, but we still have the chutney’s. They are also a savior when we do not have a Bhaji (vegetable) or are just getting lazy to cook. Many are freshly prepared and consumed and some can be stored in freeze /freezer. Did you try my Coriander Chutney yet?.

Today I am making Coconut Coriander Chutney which I generally use it along side Idli, Dosa, Multiflour pancakes etc. One can also serve this along with the main meals. So here goes the recipe:
