Today I am going to share another chutney recipe. This is a very simple coconut chutney recipe for beginners. The coconut chutney is most preferably served with dosas and idlis but I like to serve it with sandwiches and pakoras as well. At first, it may sound a little weird but trust me, this combination is way too good for you to not try. Here is a step by step recipe of the same.
