Notes

  • Always use fresh coconut for making this chutney.
  • Clean the tamarind thoroughly of any seeds or impurities before adding them to the chutney. 
  • As we are adding coconut in it, this chutney tends to spoil very fast. So serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
