Green Coconut Chutney Recipe/ Hotel Style Green Coconut Chutney for Dosa / Fresh Cilantro Coconut Chutney Recipe

In my home town, there's a popular South Indian Veg Hotel named KCB. They serve Idli/Dosa with 4 different varieties of Chutney & Sambar. Nothing can beat their taste and flavor. Its been 15 years since we visited that Hotel, even not sure if they are in Business now. But, I still remember eating at KCB every weekends and on all special occasions. Their Sambar Vadai taste and flavor is unbeatable, Salem people will agree with me. Now coming to the Chutney recipe, Green Coconut Chutney is often served with Idli/Dosa in KCB Hotel. They use fresh tender coconut & fresh Cilantro/Coriander leaves which gives refreshing taste and flavor. Addition of ginger enhances the taste, next time when you make Coconut Chutney for Dosa just try adding fresh cilantro to it. Now off to the recipe..
