In a mixer jar, add the grated coconut. You can use fresh or frozen coconut. Many people prefer using the white meat of the coconut and remove the outer brown skin. That totally depends upon you.

For a green version of coconut chutney, we will add a handful of coriander.
-
Now add 3 tbsp of roasted chana dal. You can use roasted peanuts instead of chana dal.
-
Add roughly chopped green chillies. Increase or decrease the amount of chilies to make a hotter or milder chutney.

Add 4 curry leaves. Kadi Patta provides a unique flavour to the coconut chutney. You can even add onion, garlic or ginger to enhance the flavour of this chutney.
-
Add salt to taste.

Using around 3/4 cup of water blend the green coconut chutney.

When the urad dal turns light brown in colour, add the remaining 4 curry leaves.
