Notes

Use fresh Roasted gram .It gives beautiful nutty Flavour.
Can use either green chillies or dry chillies.
In addition to ginger ,you can add 2 cloves garlic in 1:1 ratio.
You can add more fried gram reducing the quantity of coconut or vice versa.However ,I like to add more coconut.
Add little coriander leaves when grinding chutney to get beautiful green colour.
Add chillies according to your palate taste.
