Coconut coriander chutney, ginger flavoured coconut chutney, recipe with step wise pictures. This coconut coriander chutney is a very regular affair in our home. Whenever i ask my Varsha, what chutney she wants for idli|dosa, without any second thought she will say green coconut chutney. Though i am a big fan of thenga chutney i often make this chutney too. But since it is a very simple one i never thought of posting the recipe of the coconut coriander chutney. Recently when she was browsing the recipe index of jeyashri's kitchen, she casually asked me, why the recipe of my favorite chutney is not available in the website. So i made it for the again and posting the recipe today. The recipe is nothing fancy and no such precise measurements you have to follow. Just go ahead and alter the quantity of  ingredients little here and there to suit your taste.
