Coconut chutney is something i liked from the moment i tasted it and i have been making this chutney for years...Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

1C fresh or dry grated coconut
1C yoghurt
1 tbsp peanuts
2 tbsp roasted chana
2 green/red chilis
1 tsp rai
1 tsp vegetable oil
salt to taste

Method:

1) Heat oil in a pan, drop in peanuts, chana and green chilis, let them roast until peanuts turn light brown. Add peanuts first because they take time to cook as compared to the chana. Drop in chana afte a min or two the peanuts are in. Add green chilis in the end.

2) In a grinder, add coconut, the fried peanuts, chana and green chili, yoghurt, salt and water if necessary.

3) Grind them together to form a chunky paste.

4) In the remaining oil , add mustard seeds until they splutter. Drop them in the chutney.

5) Store in refrigerator and serve cold with idli or dosa.

Tip: If the yoghurt is thick and store bought 1/2C should be enough.
