Coconut Chutney (नारियल की चटनी) is a popular chutney of South Indian cuisine. It is a perfect combination and most important accompaniment for idli, dosa and vada. It is a simple, basic and easy recipe. It can be flavored as per your preference. It is prepared by blending coconut, chana dal, green chilli and tempered with rai and curry leaves. The main and basic ingredient of this chutney is coconut. South Indian platter is incomplete without it.

There are many ways to prepare coconut chutney. You may add roasted chana dal, urad dal, some roasted peanuts with freshly grated coconut. Even you can add ginger, garlic and onion. You may add tamarind pulp or curd to give tangy flavor. Increase amount of green chilli, if you want some spicy coconut chutney. Add some coriander leaves to give a green color and an amazing flavor.
