Hello everyone,
I have a fresh unopened coconut and I have no idea what to make with it. Any ideas / recipes would be great! Oh...BTW I am not a great cook so the easier the receipt the better! :smile:

Thanks!

    Here we have a savory chutney/ dip which we make with coconut Try and see if you can find ingredients around you

    Coconut
    Peanuts
    Curd/plain yogurt
    oil (for tempering maybe a tbsp or 2)
    mustard seeds
    curry leaves

    Blend coconut peanuts with a spoon or two of curd (adjust curd amount for consistency you want). Temper the chutney by heating oil in a small pan. Once the oil is hot put in the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Add this temper to the dip and mix along with salt and red chilli powder as per taste.

    Apart from this I have found shredding fresh coconut over desserts and salads gives them a good boost.

    Hope it helps.
