Coconut chutney is a very popular one in South India. We make different varieties of coconut chutney. A small variation in the ingredient makes a huge difference in the taste. This coconut chutney is very popular in Karnataka. In Tamilnadu, we make coconut chutney using coconut, chutney dal, green chili as main ingredients. Some people add 1-2 cloves of garlic, some add 1-2 small onions. But in this Karnataka style chutney, they add coriander leaves and mint leaves to the chutney.
