Fresh Coconut Chutney

Ingredients

• 1 fresh coconut – grated or finely chopped
• 2 green chillies – finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds – yellow or black will do here
• 10 fresh curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon tamarind puree

Steps

1. Place the coconut in a food processor and blend until the coconut pieces are very fine – almost a paste.
2. Add the chopped green chillies and blend for a further 30 seconds.
3. Spoon in the tamarind puree and salt to taste and blend for 30 seconds more.
4. Now heat the oil in a pan.
5. When hot, toss in the mustard seeds. When they begin to pop, add the curry leaves and fry for about 30 seconds. The room will become quite fragrant from the curry leaves.
6. Pout this oil mixture into the coconut and stir well.
7. Serve with dosas or idlis.
