A quick Coriander and Coconut Chutney

This chutney is literally a case of throwing some ingredients into a food processor. This chutney is great with breads and particularly good with marinated tikka or tandoori meats (particularly trout and quail).
I like the sweet and hot combination of coconut and green chilli, but you can play with these as you see fit.
To make it I add a handful of fresh coconut, a bunch of coriander (including the stalks) - mint is also really good in this as well, 2 green chillies, 2 tbspns coconut milk, juice of half a lime, and seasoning. Blitz until smooth. If you prefer a looser mix, just add a spoonful of yoghurt or two until you get your desired consistency.

Just had to try out this chutney with mates over the weekend. Had it with my crab and cod curry, very Keralan it was and the chutney was superb. Worked perfectly with some spinach and cumin breads. Nice one.

Hope life is good?
Cheers

"The smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, ready to remind us...."
Marcel Proust

"When the girl returned, some hours later, she carried a tray, with a cup of fragrant tea steaming on it; and a plate piled up with very hot buttered toast, cut thick, very brown on both sides, with the butter running through the holes in it in great golden drops, like honey from the honeycomb. The smell of that buttered toast simply talked to Toad, and with no uncertain voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of cosy parlour firesides on winter evenings, when one's ramble was over and slippered feet were propped on the fender, of the purring of contented cats, and the twitter of sleepy canaries."
The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame

"People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it is safer to harrass rich women than motorcycle gangs."
