This is a classical adaptation of the simple coconut chutney which carries a unique and Idli-friendly texture and taste. In other words, **Idli chutney** has a more watery texture which acts like sambar and makes it easy to consume the soft and moist idli. Having said that the chutney is not limited to it.

## Notes

* Firstly, make sure to roast the peanut and putani well. Else the chutney tastes raw.

* Also, adjust the consistency of the chutney according to your choice. The chutney thickens after some time.

* Additionally, add water to adjust the consistency once the chutney is ground smooth.

* Finally, **Idli Chutney Recipe** tastes great when prepared slightly spicy.
