Coconut Chutney Kerala style



Ingredients for grinding

1cup chopped or grated coconut

1tsp chilli powder( adjust as per your taste, I use half paprika powder and 1/2 chilli powder to balance the heat still gives the chutney that beautiful pink tint)

Salt as per your taste

1tsp of shallot or onion

1 to2 curry leaves

Hot water as required


For tempering

1tbsp coconut/vegetable oil

1 tsp shallots/onion

1 or 2 dry whole chilli

1/4 tsp mustard seeds

Few curry leaves


Grind coconut and rest of the ingredients to a smooth thick paste

Transfer coconut paste into a bowl , add enough boiling water , don't make it too thin/runny

Heat a pan add oil followed by the tempering ingredients fry till deep brown add this to the chutney , mum says the chutney should not be transferred to the hot kadai and heated as it will split the coconut milk .
