All you need is fresh coconut and fresh curry leaves for this recipe. To add more flavor and spice have added ginger, green chilies and some tamarind. I love mint leaves hence added them as they add more flavor and aroma to this chutney.
We ate our curry leaves chutney with hot idiyappams made my mom. Also not to forget a hot filter coffee too along the breakfast. You could also club this chutney with pakoras or other fried stuff. With the leftover chutney we clubbed our jowar pakoras I am hungry again.
You could make this chutney without tadka (tempering) but I love tadka. So it’s optional.
