CHUTNEY
COCONUT CHUTNEY WITH DRY RED CHILLIES
     Coconut Chutney is one kind of a versatile accompaniment. Add any ingredient to your whims and fancies, there you go with a whole new Chutney of your Choice.  Coconut Chutney ground with Dry Red Chillies suits well with most of the South Indian Tiffin items like Idli, Dosa, Uthappam, Paniyaram, Adai, Appam etc.,
     It is one of the easiest chutneys which could be prepared within minutes.  Just very few ingredients - Coconut, Dry Chillies, Roasted Grams, a clove of Garlic and a hint of Tamarind is what I use for this Chutney.
