Coriander and Coconut Chutney

Coconut & Coriander Chutney — This coriander and coconut chutney is so good with dosas!

This simple coriander and coconut chutney is so good served with dosas and idlis. When I serve dosas and/or idlis, I always like to have a good selection of chutneys and pickles to serve with them. It just makes the meal that much more interesting.

You can make this one on the same day you make your dosa or idli batter. Both of these batters need to ferment for at least 24 hours and the flavours in this chutney improve and develop in this time.

The fresh curry leaves that I use in this recipe make the fragrance at the end amazing. Make sure to use fresh curry leaves as opposed to dry ones which have little flavour and your chutney will be out of this world!

Any brand of coconut water is fine to use and coconut water is now readily available at most supermarkets.
