Coconut Chutney | Hotel style green coconut chutney | Kaayi Chutney

Coconut chutney, a no-brainer side dish to accompany dosas and idlis. Making it hotel style at home is easy and simple, it’s just throwing together all ingredients in a mixer jar and grind till almost smooth. Just add the correct amount ingredients to suit your taste. In the no mixie or processor days, people used to grind chutneys in a big stone mortar by hand. I have eaten such chutneys and their taste is quite different probably because it is ground slowly which releases more flavours from the chillies and other herbs.

Notes

Fried gram makes a smooth chutney, it gives body to the chutney

Omit hing if you want the chutney to be gluten-free

Refrigerate the leftover chutney. Coconut tends to spoil especially in hot weather
