Peanut Coconut Chutney -a delicious healthy dip of peanuts and fresh coconut

Peanut coconut chutney is a very popular chutney from Southern India. It is served with most of the tiffin items and as a side dish with your main course. This chutney is very easy to make with the readily available ingredients in your pantry. It is a pretty flexible recipe as you can adjust the ratio of peanuts and coconut according to your preference and availability.

The peanuts and the red chilies are roasted before adding in the Peanut coconut chutney. There is no need to remove the skin from the roasted peanuts as it adds the fiber and gives a nice colour to the chutney. for a quicker version you can use roasted peanuts instead of using raw and then roasting them.

Traditionally whole red chilies are added in the peanut coconut chutney but if they are not in your pantry then you can use the fresh green chilies instead. The colour will be slightly different but it will taste very good either way.

This peanut coconut chutney goes well with Idli, Dosa, vada, upma , rice or any snack of your choice. Keep it refrigerated for a long shelf life.

How to grind this chutney correctly to avoid the coconut separating out oil

Grind this peanut coconut chutney in pulse mode (grinding for a 2-3 seconds and then stopping and then starting again). As the motor of the grinder heats up, it starts heating the coconut as well, which starts ‘cooking’ it and therefore the coconut starts leaving out its oil and spoiling the peanut coconut chutney.

Ayurveda recognizes the various components of the coconut, including its flesh, water, and oil, each having unique properties contributing to overall well-being.

      keep pulsing it (grind for a second then stop, then grind then stop) instead of grinding it for a long time in one go. The oil oozes out because the coconut starts heating up (due to machine heating up).
