South Indian Style Coconut Chutney - increase your intake of natural fats!

Coconut chutney is to South India what green and sweet chutneys are to the North. It is served almost every day as part of breakfast spread and sometimes at lunch and dinners too, when there is any kind of snack being served. It goes well with fried snacks like vada, as well as with steamed delicacies like idli, dosa and upma.
