Coriander Coconut Goan Chutney

This is my mom's way of making the Goan style coriander coconut chutney. Adding of roasted / fried onion to the chutney gives it a lovely flavor. Use this chutney for making sandwiches for picnics and parties. I have also used the same chutney recipe for stuffing fish.

    1. Your most welcome 😊

  14. Which brand of blender have you used here? Thanks

    1. Hi
      I use the Bella blender

  15. Hi Xanti
    Tried this green chutney and could find the actual flavour I needed.

    1. Thanks Joaquina for your feedback

  16. I made this chutney today. The taste was awesome. Will be referring to this post whenever i want to make chutney. Remembered my aunt who used to make it back in Goa..

  17. Hi Xanti,
    Can this be frozen? Also can we use dessicated coconut or is fresh coconut recommended?

    1. Hi luvlin
      I personally don’t like to freeze chutney. It tends to get watery and the texture too changes. Yes you can use desiccated coconut , I have tried a couple of times

  18. Can we skip the onion ?

    1. Yes you many
      But my personal preference is to add it .
      You can actually taste the difference with and without onion

  19. Can we make green chutney without coconut bec of shelf life

    1. Hi annabelle
      If you make it without coconut , then it’s almost the green masala (minus the major spices )

  20. Thanks Xanti.
    Chutney turned out very yummy. Family all enjoyed eating it. God bless.

    1. Thanks Cynthia for your feedback 😊

  21. Hey Xanti, the chutney turned out fantastic. My wife and me were fighting to lick off the mixer jar. Thanks

    1. Hi Jefferson
      Lol 😂 thanks for your feedback

  22. Is it really necessary to grate the coconut? Eventually we’ll be grinding it, right? If I just cut the coconut into fine pieces instead of grating it, will the end product be any different?

    1. Hi Vicky
      If it’s thin coconut slices , go ahead .

  23. Hi Xanti. I tried this recipe and the chutney was awesome !! thanks very much.

    1. Thanks Nancy for your feedback 😊
