Notes

  • Always serve coconut chutney as soon as possible.
  • The chutney doesn't stay good for long. The maximum you can store this chutney is in an airtight container for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. 
  • You can also add cashew nuts in place of roasted chana dal. 
  • Tempering can be tweaked according to preference.
