Make a little tweak in the ingredients of chutney, and off you get a totally different variety! Replace one ingredient with another, and you get a new variety. This way you’ll end up not repeating the same variant, and making the variant that most suits the main dish.This chutney is almost like any other coconut chutney that I’ve posted here, but with onions. And taste wise, I bet it’s totally different from all of these....This tastes best with dosas, (South Indianised) aloo parathas (coming soon).
