What is Green Coconut Chutney?

Fingerlicking good (seriously once you try it, you’d be hooked to it) and a delicious Indian green chutney made using a mix of coconut and cilantro (plus added ingredients).

also known as Coconut Cilantro Chutney, Nariyal Dhaniya Chutney and Green Indian Chutney. 

The combination of coconut + cilantro gives it such a refreshing, light taste and makes it a perfect side with Indian snacks like samosa, pakora, tikkas, sandwiches, and ofcourse ALL South Indian food like dosa, vada, idli, uttapam (yummmmmmm).

Chutneys are an integral part of Indian Cuisine and we cannot imagine snacks without one or even main dishes 🙂

Notes on Storing / Freezing:

It’s one chutney is always there in my house and I have made it using all kinds of coconuts like dry coconut powder, fresh coconut flakes, or dry coconut flakes.

I store it in an Air-Tight container keep it up to 2-3 days in the fridge or you can make the saltless version and store in the freezer for 2-3 weeks. 

For Freezer, I make it saltless as that helps keep the taste fresh once defrosted, just add salt before serving.
