Coconut Chutney
Chutneys are the flavor-saver of Indian cuisine—they can be sweet or spicy, chunky or smooth, and typically incorporate some combination of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Don’t be alarmed by the white, chunky, spackling-paste-like appearance of this Coconut Chutney. The mild, slightly bitter taste goes with practically anything and especially little patties made of rice or my Indian Vegetable Rosti´s.
