Green Coconut Chutney Recipe
Getting at 6.30 am to a hot aromatic sambhar with idlis and green coconut chutney on a cold wintery mornings.....Hmmmmmm. Heaven for me. This green coconut chutney is staple with idlis and dosas in every south indian home. At my in-laws in Kerala this chutney and the red coconut chutney is made in mortar pestal and believe me the taste is so much better than making it in a grinder. This is had with dosas, idlis, upma or just plain rice.
Instead of ginger you can add garlic to change the flavour of the chutney. You can also add shallots.
The recipe here is what my mom-in-law makes.
