Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Coconut — Use freshly grated coconut for the best flavor and texture. If fresh coconut is not available, you can use unsweetened desiccated coconut as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a milder version, remove the seeds from the green chili pepper before adding it to the chutney.
  • Adjust the lime juice according to your taste preference. Add more for a tangier chutney or reduce it for a milder flavor.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the chutney after blending to remove any coarse bits of coconut.

Serving advice

Serve Seychellois Coconut Chutney as a condiment alongside grilled fish or seafood dishes. It also pairs well with crispy samosas or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.

Presentation advice

Garnish the Coconut Chutney with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro or a few thin slices of lime for an appealing presentation.
