As name suggests, this chutney is made with grated coconut and roasted peanuts. It gets its green colour from green coriander leaves. There is nothing much and it is a simple recipe. It takes just 10 minutes.

It is a quite flexible recipe, you can adjust the ratio of peanuts and coconut according to your preference and availability. There is no need to remove the skin from the roasted peanuts so it is easy to prepare and you can make in a jiffy. Later a tempering is poured which enhances the taste of this chutney even more.
