Coconut Chutney

This coconut chutney blends unsweetened dry coconut or fresh coconut with roasted chana dal, green chili, garlic, and cumin seeds into a smooth and mildly spiced condiment. A tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafetida in hot oil enhances the nutty and fragrant flavors. The chutney's consistency is adjustable with water and fresh lemon juice brightens the taste.
