sesame coconut chutney recipe – easy and flavorful chutney using sesame seeds and coconut. This delicious chutney has ellu or sesame seeds along with coconut and spices and is a good side dish for South Indian idli, dosa or uttapam. It is a quick chutney to make and uses just a few spices apart from the main ingredients – white sesame seeds or til and grated coconut. I love the flavor of sesame seeds and usually make spiced ellu podi that is also a great accompaniment to idli and dosa. Apart from a nice flavor it lends, these seeds have great health benefits.

This til aur nariyal chutney is a delicious blend of spicy and tangy with the red chillies lending it spiciness as well as a bright color to the chutney while the tamarind lends it a tangy taste. It goes well with idli or dosa and even with rice.
