It is time to challenge yourself, try this delicious coconut chutney. The name says it all… The nutty taste of the roasted coconut, together with the chadon beni, pepper and garlic is truly a mouthwatering delight. When we made this I was so eager to try it out, that the sting of the fresh hot pepper was not going to phase me at all. And boy was it hot!
Strange thing though, by the time it went in the fridge it seems like the coldness tamed the heat a bit to a manageable degree, that I could have eaten a little more..(greedy) :-). A spoon of coconut chutney with some rice and dhal is all you need and you’re good to go. You don’t even need meat in your plate, at least for me, considering that I’m a meat mouth.
Coconut Chutney Recipe
I totally enjoyed this chutney recipe since it goes great with whatever meal you are eating. And also knowing that coconuts are so healthy, made me appreciate it more. If you have been following this blog for a while you would know by now how much I really like to cook with coconut oil because of its many benefits. So having this coconut chutney with my food was also a a step in the right direction.
Now we have another addition to our list of chutneys. I did mango chutney, tamarind sauce, chadon beni chutney (my favourite ) already and now coconut chutney. We also have mango kuchela and masala mango that tastes just as spicy as well. Hmm! quite a list we have here, but it’s not complete. I believe I have one or two to do still so stay tuned.
While you enjoy making this recipe you may also want to check out some more coconut recipes, such as coconut bake, coconut sweet bread, and coconut drops. What a coconutty post! 😀 Enjoy!
