Coconut Chutney is a popular and favourite chutney variety in any South Indian household. This Coconut Mint Chutney is a variation to the normal Coconut Chutney with the additional bursting flavours of mint and ginger. This is mostly found as one of the accompaniments for idli/dosa in any restaurant menu along with sambar, kara chutney, coconut chutney. Among all the other chutneys, this Coconut Mint Chutney is my personal favourite!!
Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- 5 mins]
Ingredients:
- Coconut (grated) – 1/2 cup
- Mint leaves – handful
- Ginger – 1 inch pc
- Green Chillies – 2 to 3
- Tamarind paste – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – as needed
To temper:
- Oil – 1 tsp
- Mustard – 1 tsp
- Urad Dal – 1 tsp
Method:
- Wash and clean the mint leaves. Heat a pan, add a few drops of oil and saute the mint leaves, slit green chillies. It will shrink. Let it cool. Take grated coconut, mint leaves, green chillies, salt, ginger and tamarind paste in a mixer.
- Grind it into a semi-coarse paste. Keep it aside. Heat a pan with 1 tsp of oil and temper with mustard and urad dal. Transfer the tempering to the Coconut Mint Chutney.
