Tomato Coconut Chutney
on Jun 05, 2024
Tomato Coconut Chutney is a delicious South Indian chutney made with fresh tomatoes, coconut, and a few other ingredients. Use my easy recipe to make it.
Here are some more chutney recipes: Kokum Chutney, Vada Pav Chutney, Onion Tomato Chutney, Amla Chutney, and Garlic Chutney.
We make idli, dosa, and uttapam at home a lot. While I usually make the classic white coconut chutney, there are days when I want to eat something different. On those days, I try various combinations and come up with something interesting. Sometimes, the combinations don’t work, but sometimes, they seem like they were always meant to be together. Tomato and coconut is one such combination. The tempering takes the chutney to the next level. Try the recipe!

Others – You will also need oil, onions, dry red chilies, ginger, garlic, and salt.
For The Tempering
To temper the chutney, you will need oil, brown mustard seeds, asafetida (hing), curry leaves, dry red chilies and white urad dal.
