coconut chutney

South Indian dip

Coconut chutney is a South Indian condiment made from fresh coconut, green chilies, and spices, often tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves.

It serves as a cool, creamy counterpoint to dosas, idlis, and other dishes: The dosa came with sambar and coconut chutney on the side.
