Method:

Fresh coconut pieces or grated fresh coconut can be taken.

Grind together the fresh coconut, 2 cubes of the raw mango, split chick peas (putnala pappu), green chillies, salt to taste and fresh coriander chopped.

In a kadai/Pan make tempering. Heat 2 tsps oil, add mustard seeds and once they splutter add a tsp of black gram, red chillies, curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida.

Season the coconut chutney with the above tempering and serve. Coconut chutney has freshly ground coconut as the main ingredient and cannot be stored for longer than half a day to a day.

As Known, Coconut chutney goes well with any of the South Indian snacks, but it tastes great when mixed with rice and a tsp of oil and eaten with chips.
