Coconut Chutney

[demonizedin42]

I love your recipies and instructions as always a devoted fan. One question - will you both marry me?! lol - Just kidding - no offense. I wish you all good things for yourselves and what you do for others as well as those you hold close.

Be well

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@demonizedin42 : Thank you for the wishes :)

[2009blueice]

wow.. we tried it with idli and it was finger licking good :)) Thank you very much.

I am in the process of preparing this recipe now to be eaten with Mysore Bonda.

After adding the Tadka seasoning to the chutney at the final stage of preparation, can leftover Chutney be stored in the refrigerator or, must it be consumed right away upon adding the tadka?

Also, I cubed my fresh coconut meat after I removed it from the shell. Can I use it cubed or, must it be shredded to get a perfect finished product?

Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.

@cher128bx : Shredded tastes best and is more authentic. The finished product (after tadka) has great shelf-life and also stores well in the freezer. Make a big batch and freeze some for later :)

[MrsDomino]

What would you eat with coconut chutney? I have had mango chutney as a dip but would this be a dip too?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MrsDomino : Coconut Chutney is served with Idlis and Dosa (South Indian delicacy) and both those recipes can be found on our YouTube Channel and on our website.

Thanks a lot for this and your other videos too. I see that you are transferring the contents directly from the stove into the blender...not the chana dal but the coconut and other stuff. Doesn't the blender get spoiled if we do that?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sonavva

We have not had a problem with our blender spoiling. However, you should never put hot liquids into a blender and blend. It tends to splatter all over the place and can cause burns.

Hi Anuja and Hetal. you both r doing a wonderful jobs. I've learnt all my basic cooking watching ur videos and trying them for my hubby and shud say that he s so happy with me. As a newlywed, settled in Canada, ur videos r like blessing in disguise 4 me.:)

Keep up the great work.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@amisha290

Thanks so much for the feedback.  We're so glad you are finding SMTC useful!

[priyankashandil]

thank you so much for sharing this recipe, this one is much easier than what I've been seeing on other videos.. well I'm gonna try this tomorrow. hope it works out for me as it is in the video...

[wicklineco]

Thank you for sharing this great recipe! So good!

[jcsorez]

Can I use curry powder instead of curry leaves?, is difficult to find them where I live.

[bhaumin]

you should have mentioned about daliya part in the beginning

[shreyapatil]

hey girls.. The best chutney I have ever had.. Its awesome.. Keep coming up with such recipies!!

Thanks

[TheLibran54]

Hi girls, you are simply awesome. I love all your recipes. A great recipe, sure. My suggestion is that if one can use freshly bought dalia each time while making coconut chutney, it would definitely be more tastier. But nevertheless, you have shown a good option for dalia. Cheers to you both and keep up the good work going!

[saaanaz]

Really people?? You guys act as if you know better than these ladies. Get your own show!! Instead of being appreciative of their efforts to inspire others to cook, you guys leave negative comments. There is no strict rule to cooking - as long as it tastes good, who gives a damn. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary from region to region which makes the recipe unique. So for all of you smart Alex's out there.. get your own show or go get a life!

[desigayboi]

coconut chutney ki jai ho!

[anshumee1]

Hi Hetal & Anuja, Great recipe. Specially the chana dal option instead of daliya is really good. I always end up buying daliya and throwing away most part of it as it becomes stale after few weeks. I will try out this one for sure today.

[soulfuljourney]

thanks so much for posting these. definitely helpful to learn from.

[chirpysang]

sure looks divine!! not conventional way.. but always ...its good to learn new ways...!!! nothing was raw in it... maybe we can toast some garlic also along with ginger isnt it??ladies..!!!take care n keep posting ur recepies..!

[Prodigalscribe]

You guys are truly fantastic! Thanks alot Anuja & Hetal, I cant wait to try these South Indian recipes! Keep up the gr8 work u guys! (:

[yashudreams2008]

Neha

good recipe..

[mysteriospidey]

Thnx for the video!!

I have a question. Is that a blender or a grinder? I am planning to buy one but when I search online......I only get blenders!! Can blenders grind things? Whats the price of the blender which you are using?

Thnx!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It is a blender and it does grind!

It is a Cusinart and can be bought at Bed Bath and Beyond/Target/ Kohls etc.

[mysteriospidey]

Awesome....Thnx for the reply!!

[nirakarmusic]

beautful ladies,beautiful recipes and not to miss,lovely voices!

[realrealraj]

I stoped watching the video as soon as the ladies started roasting the schredded coconut.... this iint the real thing - not the "real" coconut chutney - invented/perfected in the south of India.. sorry to say it. You need a disclaimer in the title.

[aslinm24]

hi i m also one viewer ,but i wan to say that if u knew it better then y should u watch this ....it will be helpful for others...

[realrealraj]

It will be misleading.. I watched the video to get a better idea on measurements.

Imagine some one writes a receipe for Boiled eggs - and instead of boiling them, they break them and fry it...

[hariom07]

the title itself is a misnomer first of all. its a different dish altogether that you are describing there. let alone the recipe that is original and real. me no chef though. but i know enough to know which one is exactly what and what you have there is called "paruppu thuvayal"

[ShowMeTheCurry]

The term "chutney" is very broad. It simply refers to a sweet or spicy condiment. In this case, we have shown a condiment which tastes fantastic with Idli or Dosa or Vada. If it is called something else in another place, so be it. We are using it as a condiment (or chutney).

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Just to give you some background about ShowMeTheCurry....we are all about experimenting and creating flavors which are not only delicious, but also healthy and quick. We don't always go the traditional way. We follow a more practical approach. We hope you give some of our recipes a chance.

[priyankashandil]

@hariom07 do u think if the name was Paruppu..... watever... anyone would ever be able to search it... Its commonly known as chutney and its the right thing used here, and is easy for people like me to find it, thank you.

[hariom07]

split dhaliya + coconut + tamarind + green chillies + add ginger-garlic (if preferred) and ground = chutney... add the seasoning... thats chutney...

not THIS

[hariom07]

cd improvise with peanuts in the place of split dhaliya...

[ShowMeTheCurry]

How boring it would be if all recipes were exactly the same everywhere. Hope you get to try our version of this delicious chutney -- we're sure it'll be a refreshing change!

[hariom07]

this aint chutney even! this is paruppu thuvayal... OMG!

[ashwin6000]

Hey what makes the dal look soo good for one and really good for another, they suck coz all their words are cleshay.

[saffle82]

If you want to eliminate odors in your house just put some white distilled vinegar in a bowl and set several in various places around the house. It works very well. I would put about one cup of vinegar in a bowl when doing this. I have used up to six bowls at once and it was effective.

[Khunkan]

Hetal and Anuja, I just ran into your videos a couple of days ago. I am so happy to find you ladies. I am an indian who lived in India for only 2 years of my life and now I live in US. But your cooking videos have inspired me to get back to my roots more! Big thanks and keep up your wonderful work. You both are lovely.

[usernamegame]

lol show me the curry

[srisaisan]

Hi Ladies,

I watch all your videos and love them all. I have a question for a long time. I'm very particular about cooking smell at my home. I notice that you don't turn any exaust/vent out fan in your videos....do you have any trick for that? waht do you do to get rid of that smell....Please send ur reply.

Thanks,

Sanjana.

[joeyslaptop]

Why would you want to get rid of the smell of such delicious food?! Are you crazy?

[srisaisan]

Yes I'm crazy about my home...I want neutral smell in my house not cooking odors.

[saaanaz]

@joeyslaptop I usually light a candle in my kitchen after I am done cooking... especially when I cook Indian food. I also have an air purifier in my kitchen on *high* speed when I cook. The odor stay around for a while. But, it dissipates the following day. Or, you could try baking brownies or cinnamon rolls after :)

[joeyslaptop]

@saaanaz

You are nuts! A home that smells like this food all the time is a happy home!  ....ooohh. Or are you saying that you burn everything you cook?

On a side note, I have found that orange juice is a wonderful beverage to help cut the spice a bit in those Indian instant-food box meals that are always too spicy. I like chilis - just not as the first ingredient. lol

[saaanaz]

@joeyslaptop That comment was left for you by mistake. It was meant for *Srisaisan*. You can have your home smelling like whatever you desire - I don't give a care!

[joeyslaptop]

@saaanaz

Ha ha. I meant it for them too. This reply system is a little confusing. Thanks for your permission to smell whatever I want. I wouldn't oppose to brownies or cinnamon rolls either. Yumm.

On another side note, check out Show Me The Curry's Biryani show. It tastes very good. I make a variation of it every few weeks now.

[100259659]

i love it

thank you ladies

 i'll make it next week
