Coriander & Coconut Chutney
I sincerely hope you would share the same passion as me!Chutney is a sauce or relish; an accompaniment served in small quantities to provide balance to an array of dishes.
It is often served as a dipping sauce and is a counterpart to modern condiments like ketchup, mustard sauce etc.
The word ‘Chutney’ means ‘to lick’ in Urdu.
It is a paste comprising of various ingredients, which are pounded in a mortar and pestle, electric blender or food processor.
My chutney consists of desiccated coconut, coriander and green chillies, blitz using an electric blender.
