Notes

Tips for Thengai Chutney

1. Always use fresh tender coconut for tasty chutney.
2. Desiccated coconut can also be used. But it won't taste good like fresh coconut.
3. If using frozen coconut, thaw for some time and use it. 
4. Small piece of ginger or garlic can be added for flavourful chutney.

5. Green chillies can be replaced with red chillies.

6. Do not add both ginger and garlic at the same time. Use either ginger or garlic only.

7. Addition of tamarind gives a hotel-style chutney.

8. You can add little coriander leaves, curry leaves to get green colour chutney.

9. Use very little water for thick (getti) chutney. Add more water if you want to make it watery.

10. Fried gram can be skipped, but it gives a creamy texture to the chutney.

11. Addition of small onions for tempering gives an excellent flavour to the chutney.
 
For whitish coconut chutney
1. Scrap the brown part of the coconut and throw it. Use only the white portion of the coconut.
2. Addition of milk while grinding gives a whitish chutney. 
3. For a full white colour chutney, do not use fried gram, use coconut only.
