Planning of making South Indian Food at home? Try this Coconut Chutney as a side dish with that.

This lip-smacking Chutney is so easy to make and also so tasty and made with few ingredients like Fresh Coconuts, Roasted Chana, Green Chilies, Red Chilies, Curd, Garlic, etc.

Well, I am a huge fan of South Indian food. I pick one recipe from Southern India and make it once in a week; whether it is any kind of Vada or Idli or Dosa or Pesarattu.

But, this Chutney is a must to make along with them.

Coconut Chutney best tastes when made with fresh Coconut, and is flavored with roasted Dal, Curd, Green Chilies.

But, if you don’t have Fresh Coconut, you can use frozen or dry one too. All you have to do is to soak grated dry coconut in a cup of curd, an hour before making it.

Or, if you want to make it Vegan, you can soak it in hot water too.

Serving Suggestions

This Chutney is so tasty and best goes with Idli, Vada, Dosa, and even with Rice too.

This version of Coconut Chutney is a classic one, but there is one more variety in my blog .i.e Red Coconut Chutney.

Please do check that too. Red Coconut Chutney is the spicier version of this classic one.
