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:

My favourite to eat with dosas! So refreshing!
Color of the Chutney is vibrant and inviting. A yummy chutney to serve with idli and dosa.
We make something similar to go with our biriyanis… always tastes amazing…
Green chutney was a must have for all meals in our house. Makes every meal taste better.
The green chutney has umpteen variations, I like this version, it has such a beautiful green, so healthy too.
I love this chutney and makes a wonderful side dish for tiffin!..very nicely done.
I always have a jar of green chutney in the fridge as its really handy. I love to spread on bread, rotis and even mix it with leftover rice. I use to help my mum make chutney using the mortar and pestle.
Often make coconut and coriander chutney in similar way. Perfect side dish for idli and dosa. Looks so inviting.
I love coconut chutney with garlic and coriander. I also add some roasted gram to it. Perfect match for idlis, dosas and variety rices.
I have never added garlic to coconut chutney. I must try this. Thanks for sharing.
Love the vibrant green colour of the chutney….garlic is an interesting addition. Looks yum!
