Coconut Peanut Chutney / Peanut Coconut Chutney Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. This is a quick, creamy and super tasty chutney which makes a yummy combo with Idli, Dosa, Rava Dosa, Set Dosa etc. I have already shared Coconut Chutney and Peanut Chutney separately in my blog, this is another new addition to the Chutney Collection. If preparing during the Navratri Vrat, skip garlic from the ingredients list and avoid the seasoning of the chutney. I have used more peanuts and less coconut but you can alter the recipe vice versa also.
