coriander-coconut-chutney

A chutney is actually a condiment, and really, there’s all sorts of chutneys, some similar in consistency to jelly, salsa or relish.

But let me tell you, I love chutneys, especially coconut chutneys and coriander chutneys. I can, believe it or not, can eat them by a bowl full if nobody stops me.

There’s this fabulous fresh raw green chutney that’s a favorite of mine, and it just goes very well with everything. If your family is not into raw, then, this chutney is a sneaky way to add more fresh raw greens into their diet. Try it on grilled fish, seared scallops, pompadums, unsalted chips, sandwiches, roasted potatoes, fried eggs. You can try replacing pesto in your pasta with this chutney. Japanese sashimi purists will cringe, but I’ve been told it’s really good topped with raw salmon. The possibilities are endless.


Easy-easy Coriander Coconut Chutney Recipe

1/2 cup washed and chopped coriander leaves and stems

1 large red chilli with the seeds removed. Also rinse the chilli. This will remove the heat, which is good for people like me who unfortunately can’t eat too spicy food.

1/4 cup freshly grated coconut (or if you can’t get fresh grated coconuts, try getting 1/4 C fresh coconut pulp. You’ll want an older coconut pulp that’s hard, and does not have a consistency of jelly)

Salt to taste

A few drops of lime juice to taste (the sourness of the juice is what gives the dish an extra oomph!)

Just put everything into the blender and blend away until the cilantro is completely broken down. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little bit of water. Season with salt to taste.

Not only is this condiment tasty, all the ingredients for this dish helps you body remain healthy. The coriander leaves are full of antioxidants. Coconut is an anti bacterial, anti viral health food. Lime juice have plenty of Vitamin C among other things.

Chilli has tons of Vitamin C as well, plus it’s an anti parasitic health food, meaning it helps get rid of parasites in your body.  Not only that, I read it’s helpful for arthritic sufferers as it relieves joint pain.
