Coconut curd chutney recipe with step by step photos. This yogurt coconut dip is served with idli, dosa, uttapam or vada. This is another variation of chutney which I often make along with South Indian tiffin breakfast or snacks.
This dip is preferred by my husband because it has his favorite ingredient curd/yogurt in it. The yogurt gives a slightly sour taste to it. While there are many variations of the chutney that you can make with coconut – my personal favorite is this classic coconut chutney that I make very often.
It tastes very good with idli and dosa or uttapam. It can also go well with medu vada and tomato or onion uttapam. But the best combination is with idli, dosa and plain uttapam.
In fact you can make many varieties of chutney to along with your favorite South Indian snacks. It also depends upon your taste.
I served this coconut curd chutney with foxtail millet dosa and the combo was good.
