Recipe for Coconut Chutney

Popular south Indian breakfasts, such as idli, dosa, Upma etc., are often served with chutneys of various kinds. Coconut chutney is one of the most common chutneys served with these breakfasts.

I recently shared the recipe for coconut chutney, in which coconut is combined with green chillies and a few more ingredients. Today, the recipe I am sharing is a slight variation from that chutney. This is also coconut chutney, but the other ingredients are different.
