How to make Instant Coconut Chutney
For Coconut Mixture
Combine desiccated coconut and curd in a bowl.
Add salt and mix nicely.
Gradually add water and combine to form a thick or semi-liquid mixture as per your preferred consistency. When you have achieved the desired consistency, keep the mixture aside.
For Tempering
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add oil.
Add chana dal, urad dal, and raw peanuts and stir till light golden.
Add mustard seeds and allow them to pop.
Then add dry red chilli (broken) and curry leaves and stir for a few seconds.
Turn off the flame.
Add red chilli powder and stir and let it cool to room temperature.
Add the tempered spices to the coconut chutney and stir to combine.
Serve the chutney as a side dish with your favourite South Indian dishes, snacks, and appetizers!
Tips & Tricks
Always have all lentils and spices ready for tempering.
You can add water or milk to adjust the consistency of the chutney.
I prefer thick hand-mixed chutney. You can combine coconut and curd in a blender or food processor to make a smooth and creamy chutney.
