coconut garlic chutney recipe with step by step photos. this coconut chutney goes well with your favorite south indian snacks like idli, dosa, vada, mysore bonda, uttapam and so on.

chutney and sambar are two apt accompaniments for idli and dosa. if you are also fond of trying different flavors of chutneys like me, then you can make many varieties of coconut chutney for south indians snacks apart from the classic coconut chutney which most of us love.

like most chutney recipes, this coconut garlic chutney is also a simple and easy chutney which will not take much time to prepare. this chutney has tempering or tadka added to it. i have already posted another variation of making easy coconut garlic chutney which does not have tempering done towards the end.

with so many chutney recipes on the blog, you can guess, how much i am fond of chutneys, especially coconut chutney ! in the pics the chutney is served with ragi (finger millet) dosa.

how to make coconut garlic chutney

1. firstly measure and keep all the ingredients ready for making coconut garlic chutney.

2. in a blender jar, add ½ cup grated coconut (fresh or frozen), 2 tablespoons roasted chana dal (roasted bengal gram) and 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves.

3. next add 1 to 2 chopped green chilies (hari mirch) and 3 to 4 chopped garlic cloves (lahsun).

4. also add salt as required.

5. lastly pour ½ cup water or as required.

6. grind the chutney till smooth.

7. remove the chutney in a heat proof bowl or dish and keep aside.

8. then in a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on a low flame. when the oil becomes hot, add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (rai) and 1 teaspoon urad dal (husked black gram).

9. keep the flame low. let mustard seeds crackle and the urad dal get reddish brown. they will take almost the same time to get cooked.

11. stir and fry till the curry leaves become crisp and the red chilies change color.

12. pour the hot tempering in the chutney.

13. stir the coconut chutney very well.

14. serve the garlic coconut chutney with idli, dosa, chana dal vada or upma.
