* Adding ginger gives good taste, as it's simple plain chutney.

* You can also squeeze lemon but it taste different.

Tips:

◆ Do not water at first, to get getti chutney. If you want can add later.

◆ To get chutney in color - Donot  scrap the coconut with brown part.

◆ I heard that adding little milk also gives white color to chutney( i never try i will let you know once i used 😉 )
