Desiccated Coconut Chutney
Rich, creamy, nutty and slightly spicy, this desiccated coconut chutney is the perfect teammate to your favorite Indian snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 dried red chili
- 1 tablespoon curry leaves
- ½ teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 green chili
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- In a blender jar, combine the desiccated coconut, lime juice, yogurt, green chili and salt as per your taste.
- Blend until you get a smooth paste.
- Heat oil in a pan and add mustard and fenugreek seeds. Let them splutter, then take off heat and add the curry leaves and red chilies.
- Pour this over the coconut chutney and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you're using fresh coconut, you won't need to add as much yogurt, since the coconut flesh will already have some moisture.
- Don't have fresh lime? You can add some tamarind pulp instead to bring some tanginess to the chutney.
- For a pop of color, you can also add some fresh cilantro into the mix while blending the coconut and yogurt.
