I can never get the chutney right. will try this out
delicious chutney with idli or dosa..
Lipsmacking chutney, fantastic and very flavourful.
Your chutney recipes are good..I like your blog..
HI,
I am very impressed with your cooking style. Simple and easy. But I have a doubt. When you say 1 cup, what is the size actually. I have cups of different sizes and I am afraid if I follow the measurements in your ingredient but used the wrong size cup, everything will be ruined. Thank you.
@VathsalaMy measuring cup holds 240 ml..And it is 1 cup coconut Packed
If we put garlic without frying ,will there be raw smell of garlic in chutney
@Bhuvaneswarino it wont..
It was really yummy arthi…I just loved it. I have started trying all ur recipes one by one.Got interest over cooking coz of u. thank u arthi 🙂
Thanks for this lovely chutney recipe! It was absolutely delicious!! My only 1 comment about is the ground coconut doesn't mix very well with water. Hence I can't get it to be pasty like yours. My ground chutney is made up of coconut and water which is 'separated' from coconut. How do I get it to be pasty? I didn't add much water at all, yet it's not integrated very well. Pls advise. Thanks
@AnonymousI would suggest you to grind the coconut with some hot water, add little water at a time and grind it. use the smaller jar of the mixer grinder
Turned out great..thanks!!
Hi! can I use dry coconut flakes (small ones) for this recipe? or only fresh grinded coconut? thanks
