    @Sheryn-Hi Sheryn..slightly sour means one day old yoghurt,you can also use fresh yoghurt, just add 2-3 drops of lemon juice in it

    Yay! Coconut chutney! I can't wait to try this, although I can already say I'm going to be real confused because I am unfamiliar with Indian cooking and don't recognize many of the ingredients.

    When you say "slightly soured" yogurt, is that something that you buy?
