Coconut Chutney


Despite my failed dhosa/ tosei..
I am happy with coconut chutney... my Cheat coconut chutney ;P.  
It was received by all especially my son.

In my last post, my attempt to make tosei/ dhosa failed miserably, if not for potato masala (click on the small photo on the right to take you to the post ;P ) and coconut chutney, most likely we would ended up eating instant noodles or sandwiches ;P

Just in case you are wondering why cheat... :D
There were few items that I didn't have either in my pantry or fridge... like green chilli, red chilli, asafoetida and... I used up all my urud dhall :(
but be assured.... lack of  few ingredients doesn't mean that taste was compromise...

I swear ... :)
