South Indian Coconut Chutney

South Indian coconut chutney is a favorite of mine because of how good it tastes and how easy it is to make. Essentially, it's a blend of fresh coconut with chilies, ginger and a mix of tempered mustard seeds. Special to this recipe and the source of the taste you will love are the additions of roasted chana dal, tamarind paste, cumin seeds, garlic and curry leaves. Coconut chutney is a perfect accompaniment to the staple varieties from South India such as Dosas, Idlis and Vadas. Your meal will be complete with this chutney!
