How to make it

  3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a small pan or tadka ladle

    Heat 1 tsp oil in a small pan or tadka ladle over medium heat.

  5. Fry for a few seconds

    Fry for a few seconds until fragrant, then immediately pour the hot tempering over the blended chutney and mix well.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If using frozen coconut, thaw it to room temperature before blending. For a thinner consistency, add a little more water during blending.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The chutney can be ground ahead of time, but the tempering should ideally be added fresh before serving.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Coconut can sour quickly if left at room temperature. Serve cold or at room temperature. Do not reheat as it may split the coconut fats.

Allergens

Contains mustard.
