South Indian Coconut Chutney Recipe for Idli Dosa (with Curd)

February 28, 2020 2 Comments

As I mentioned in the Tamil Hotel-Style Coconut Chutney post, South Indian chutneys come in many varieties and often are the best combination with idli and dosa. Fresh coconut ground with green chillies, roasted Bengal gram, ginger and tempered with mild spices – what’s not to love? This variation of South Indian chutney has curd which lends a lovely body and sourness to the chutney and goes perfect with idli, dosa, and even masala paniyaram.

The gorgeous chutney you see in the pictures was made by my good friend Disha who hosted a lovely brunch at her place this Saturday for a few friends. I absolutely loved the freshness and mild sweetness in this chutney and asked for the recipe immediately. She had adapted it from Chandra Padmanabhan’s Simply South.

Now, a quick word about Chandra Padmanabhan’s cookbooks. Although Dakshin (US | India) is her more popular and award-winning book, I am partial to Simply South and have tried quite a few recipes from it. If you want a set of good cookbooks to guide you through South Indian vegetarian cooking, I recommend her books. I have all three of her books (her latest book is a compilation of best recipes from the past three with a few new ones added and I don’t own this one).

      Hello Hina, I don’t mention in salt in any of my recent recipes since the quantity is largely dependent on individual preference. Please add per your taste.
