Tips :
  • Ginger, Garlic and Coriander Leaves can be added to get extra taste. I do not add garlic, coriander leaves and ginger all at a time. One of these can be added at times to make variation in Chutney.
  • If the coconut is frozen, Adding hot water while grind gives the fresh taste.
  • Adding more curry leaves enhances the taste.
  • Use fresh grated coconut for best taste like hotel.
  • Dry red chili can also be substituted for Green chili..
