Instructions

Preparation

  • Soak red chillies in hot water for 10 mins.

Method

  • Add all chutney ingredients in to mixer and grind to coarse paste.

  • Red coconut chutney is ready. Enjoy lip-smacking side dish with Idli and Dosa.

Note

  • If you have abundant coconut, then use it alone for chutney and skip roasted gram.
  • I like to add few curry leaves while grinding this red chilly chutney to make it more healthier.
  • Soaking red chillies helps it to blend well with other ingredients and make the chutney colorful.
