Green Coconut and Peanut Chutney

Green Coconut and peanut chutney (हरी नारियल और मूँगफली की चटनी) is a thick, delicious and very popular chutney from South Indian cuisine. This chutney is perfect for idli and dosa. As name suggests, this chutney is made with grated coconut and roasted peanuts. It gets its green colour from green coriander leaves. There is nothing much and it is a simple recipe. It takes just 10 minutes.

To make this green coconut and peanut chutney, we need three main ingredients green coriander, coconut and peanut. This is mildly spiced and has the flavor of garlic. We North Indians mostly make coconut chutney with chana dal but try this coconut peanut chutney as this is smooth and a perfect accompaniment. It is a quite flexible recipe, you can adjust the ratio of peanuts and coconut according to your preference and availability. There is no need to remove the skin from the roasted peanuts so it is easy to prepare and you can make in a jiffy. Later a tempering is poured which enhances the taste of this chutney even more.

This green coconut and peanut chutney goes well with idli, dosa, vada and uttapam. Even you can take this with poha, upma and dhokla
