Fresh coriander and coconut chutney

Heres a quick, easy to make and delicious chutney or dipping sauce. You can use it for dipping BBQ meats, BBQ paneer, samosas, veggie cutlets and even use it in wraps as your flavouring sauce.
I make a traditional seasoning with spices to pour over this sauce, as I often serve my sauce with south Indian Dosa. However, you can keep it raw and its tastes just as good.

Ingredients

  • 1 bundle Coriander leaves (rinsed well, keep stalks on if it's tender and organic)
  • 2 small green chillies (can omit or use 1 if you don't like it spicy)
  • 2 cloves garlic (skin removed)
  • 1/8 inch ginger (skin removed)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raw coconut
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (raw is better, but can use dry roasted as well)
  • 1 tsp sea salt (or as to your taste)
  • 1 cup yogurt (can use coconut yogurt for vegans)

Seasoning for Chutney (if you decide to season)

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 2 dry Kashmiri chilies
  • 1 dry bay leaf or curry leaf

Instructions

  • To a blender add coriander leaves, green chilies, garlic cloves, ginger, coconut, cumin seeds, salt and yogurt. Blend on high speed, till it resembles a smoothie.
  • You can store this in a bottle for up to a week and serve as a dipping sauce.
  • If you like you can season the traditional south Indian way, by adding oil to a small seasoning pot, once hot, add mustard seeds, close pot and allow mustard seeds to burst. Once the popping sound stops, open lid and throw in the Kashmiri chillies and bay leaf. Turn off heat.
  • Pour hot seasoning over chutney and enjoy.
  • Store in fridge for up to a week.
