Coconut Curd Chutney

Coconut curd chutney (chatani) is sour and little sweet taste chutney. It is perfect combination with south Indian dishes for e.g. idli, dosa, appam and uttpam. The sour taste of this chutney comes from curd and coconut gives it very mild sweet taste.

 This chutney is my family's favourite chutney specially loved by my son. My son can eat everyday appam with this coconut curd chutney. Even when ever we go out for picnic or short travelling, we keep appam and coconut curd chutney and we three enjoy this food while traveling.

Preparation of this chutney is easy and can be prepared in 10 minutes.
