1. If Fresh Coconut is not available, you can use Dry Coconut. Remember to soak it for half an hour before it is grinded.
2. I never mention the quantity of water to be added. You can add water as per your desire of thickness of the chutney.
3. While adding Curry Leaves, we must be careful so that the oil doesn’t spill out.
4. Coconut Chutney can be consumed fresh or can be freezed to use it later.
