Chutneys are condiments that can be made out of a variety of fruits, vegetables and spices. Different parts of India have their own chutney recipes and they can be spicy, sweet or tangy. The nadia chutney (coconut chutney) is best buddies with idlis and dosas. I love it with almost anything, I even eat it with my rice and daal. Coconut Chutneys also can have numerous tasty variations. The one I've listed below is just one of the many possibilities.
| PREP TIME | COOKING TIME | SERVES |
|---|---|---|
| None | 5 minutes | 3 - 4 |
INGREDIENTS
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Roasted Gram Daal (Read More) | 10 Tablespoons |
| Fresh Coconut or Shredded Frozen Coconut | 4 cut pieces or 5 - 6 Tablespoons |
| Green Chillies (Add more to make it spicier) | 2 - 3 |
| Yoghurt | 5 - 6 Tablespoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Sugar / Jaggery | 1/2 teaspoon |
PREP
- If you are using fresh coconut, cut them up into pieces
- Cut your green chillies into pieces
- This recipe can be modified in many ways, if you want to make it vegan, instead of the yoghurt use tamarind juice ( 2 - 3 teaspoons)
PROCEDURE
- Put all your ingredients in a blender or a food processor and grind them until you get a smooth paste
- My blender always needs a little more liquid to start blending, if yours doesn't need then add less yoghurt.
- You can add water to make your chutney a little watery
- Adjust your salt and sugar if you need to, it's all about your taste
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve with idlis (steamed rice and lentil balls), dosas (rice and lentil crepes) or enjoy with rotis :)
