This traditional; South Indian chutney recipe was handed down to me by my Mother in Law. Coconut is very popular in South India because it's a local produce and you'll find it in many dishes like dahls, sambars , desserts and chutney's.

I love how the freshness of the coriander and chilli blend with the creaminess of the coconut. It tastes amazing served on the side with your classic South Indian dosa or idli.

There's not a thing I would change as it's tried and tested over many generations and you'll see why when you try a spoonful!

Enjoy!
