Peanut & coconut chutney

Peanut & coconut chutney

Peanut & coconut chutney makes a regular appearance on our breakfast table as it goes well with most of the breakfast recipes like idli, dosa, vada, appam, uttapam, etc. One more reason for me to make this chutney on a regular basis is that all the ingredients that go into making this are SCD-legal. This chutney also happens to be one of Vedika's favorites and would come to rescue whenever she would find difficulties in following her strict diet.

Now there is no such recipe to be called perfect for a chutney. It all depends on one's own creativity, availability of ingredients and individual taste. Some people like to use tamarind in this chutney, whereas I prefer using a little bit of plain yogurt while grinding it, which is an SCD-friendly ingredient and adds a tanginess as well. You can also add cilantro or mint - the possibilities are endless, whether you want to keep it plain or make it spicy by adding extra chilies or give it a healthy twist by adding some herbs, this recipe will certainly uplift your mood by enhancing the flavor of any meal.
