Coconut peanut chutney is a commonly eaten side-dish daily with breakfast and snacks in South India like green chutney in North India.
Here, I am sharing a quick and easy recipe of dry coconut peanut chutney that needs only a few ingredients which are mostly available at home.
Coconut gives a creamy texture, nutty taste by peanuts, and tadka with curry leaves enhance the flavor of this delicious peanut coconut chutney. It is gluten-free, vegan, and diabetic friendly too.
This Indian style coconut peanut chutney for idli & dosa is made just in 5 minutes. Transfer all the ingredients to the grinder jar and grind it. You can add less or more water according to the consistency of the chutney you want to keep.
Some people like very thin and watery type but I like a little thick and coarse kind of consistency. So you can adjust the consistency according to your taste.
