Red Coconut Chutney
Jump To Recipe Ingredients Tips
This Kerala style coconut chutney does not get its inviting red color only from red chillies but also from tomatoes, and this is what sets it apart from other south Indian chutneys as tomato provides a tempting tangy touch to its otherwise spicy taste.
Ingredients:
For Chutney
1/2 cup grated or shredded Fresh Coconut
1-2 Garlic Cloves
3 Dry Red Chillies
1 tablespoon Roasted Chana Dal (daliya)
1 small Tomato, chopped
Salt
For Tempering
1/2 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Urad Dal (split black gram)
4-5 Curry Leaves
2 teaspoons Oil
Directions:
  1. Take grated coconut, garlic, dry red chillies, roasted chana dal, chopped tomato and salt in a grinder or food processor.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons water and grind until medium coarse paste. Taste for salt and add more if required. Add and mix water as needed to make it diluted to desired level. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  3. Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves (add dal and curry leaves when mustard seeds start to splutter). Sauté until dal turns golden brown.
  4. Remove pan from flame and immediately pour tempering over chutney. Mix if desired. Kerala style red tomato coconut chutney is ready; serve it with idli, set dosa, appam, etc.
Tips and Variations:
  • Consume it fresh or you can store it in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
