Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Grate the coconut, chop the green chilies, and cut the fresh coriander and curry leaves into smaller pieces. If you’re using raw peanuts, roast them in a pan for a few minutes until they become crispy and aromatic.

Grind the Chutney: Add all the prepared ingredients—grated coconut, roasted peanuts, chopped green chilies, fresh coriander, curry leaves, and salt—into a mixer grinder or food processor. Grind the mixture until it forms a smooth paste. You can add a little water if needed to adjust the consistency.

Serve: Once the chutney is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl. Coconut Peanut Chutney pairs wonderfully with South Indian breakfast items like rava idli, carrot idli, or your favorite dosas.
