To my esteemed blog readers’ demand, I am posting more varieties of Chutney. Here is one type of Chutney recipe whose taste is different and goes well with Idly and Dosa. I made this Coconut – Garlic Chutney as sides for Rava Idli. The combination of these two is really good. As we are adding Garlic for just the aroma sake, do not use more Garlic pods in the chutney. The Groundnuts in the Chutney blends well with Garlic and Coconut. It also gives a different taste in this Chutney. Preparation of this Chutney is very simple, same as we do it in the other Chutney recipes. Grind all the listed below ingredients to Chutney consistency and add the seasoning. Enjoy the simple, but very tasty Coconut – Garlic Chutney with your favourite breakfast recipe.
