Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup grated coconut (frozen shredded coconut from a bag)

  • 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped

Not really a sauce or a dip, chutney is in a class of its own. In India, no meal is complete without chutney. There are hundreds of different recipes, for both fresh and cooked versions. Chutneys based on coconut are more common in the south, fruit chutneys in the north and west.
Chutney is a great pairing for a plethora of foods including meat, fish, vegetables, cakes, cheeses and sandwiches.

    In a food processor, blend all ingredients (except the water) to form a paste. Add just enough water to make a moist (but not wet) chutney.
