Coconut Cilantro Chutney

Another very common chutney made in a konkani household is coconut/cilantro chutney. It goes very well with dosas, rotis, idlis, chapati etc. One can make it as spicy as they like. Simple to make and very tasty in swad-taste :) Coconut in itself is so flavorful with that mild sweetness. I like this chutney a lot :)
Recipe is as follows:

for chutney:

• 1 cup grated coconut
• 1/4 cup of cilantro roughly chopped
• marble size tamarind
• salt to taste
• 2 or 3 green chillies (depending on your spice level)

for tempering:

• 1 tbsp oil (preferably coconut oil)
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 dry red chilli
• pinch of asafoetida (hing)
• 7-8 curry leaves

Preparation:

• In a mixer/grinder add all the ingredients under chutney except salt and make a paste. You can keep it little coarse too if you like. Keep aside in a serving bowl. Add salt and mix.
• Make a tadka/tempering, heat oil in a tadka vessel, add mustard seeds, once it splutters add dry red chilli, curry leaves, hing and pour this over the chutney. 
• Your chutney is ready to be served.
