HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CHUTNEY RECIPE (HOTEL STYLE)

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CHUTNEY RECIPE (HOTEL STYLE)

Coconut chutney / Thengai Chutney is a popular and easy to make south Indian condiment that goes well with all Indian breakfast dishes like idly, dosa, pongal, paniyaram, and kollukattai.  This is my mom (amma) recipe she makes the best hotel style coconut chutney at home. You can make a lot of variations like onion coconut chutney or mint coconut chutney or peanut coconut chutney or coriander coconut chutney. I  love thengai chutney because of its strong coconut flavor.  I also add roasted gram, garlic, ginger, tamarind and green chilly. Though it tastes good after grinding. The tempering with mustard seeds, urad dal, asafoetida and curry leaves makes the chutney more flavorful and tasty. Coconut chutney can be made with frozen or fresh coconut. Do not use dry dessicated coconut.

You can make two ways of coconut chutney, one is thick version called Getti Chutney while other is thin version and here is the recipe.

Add less amount of tamarind otherwise it reduces the spicy taste of chilly.
