Coconut Coriander Chutney

Dear All,

Photobucket


Today I am going to share with you all a quick and easy recipe which I have been making every since I entered kitchen! I love love South Indian food! Dosa, Idli, Vadai, Uttappam, Rasam, Sambhar, etc love all these! What's common between all these? Yes Coconut Chutney! Its my favorite and to go recipe for dosas and idlis and make it quite often!



You can make a big batch and easily store it in freezer for a week. To serve just heat it in a micro for about 30 sec and you are done! This chutney goes well with all south indian dishes, infact I love to have this between brown bread sandwiches as well! I have even made it with Sabudana Wada and its equally yum! So you see its very versatile recipe and you can easily adjust to your needs!

You can easily adjust the recipe according to your needs by skipping the chana dal completely or by adding in red chilies into mixture instead of green chilies (this tastes too good!)

Hope you all enjoyed this recipe, until next time take care!


Lots of Love,

  9. Its my dad's favorite chutney :) Used to make it every week :) But I have never tried storing it or heating it. We used to make it with freshly scrapped coconut so it wouldn't keep for long. Will try your version soon :)

  12. Parita, if you fry coriander and coconut pieces and then grind, the taste will be much more better.. But I do prepare as u when I am running out of time.. :)
