White Coconut Chutney

Chutney is a classic accompaniment to a main dish adding the decorative touches to a complete meal. A handful of creative ingredients coming together into a paste can be best described as chutney. Though it compliments different entrees like bread to dosa to rice, its true beauty lies in its assortment from being sweet to spicy, wet to dry, fine to coarse.

Our first one is the traditional coconut chutney which is most famous in Kerala and pairs great with Dosas or Idlis.
