Coconut and sesame seed chutney is a fragrant and spicy dish from Indian cuisine that perfectly complements traditional dishes like curry, rice, or flatbreads. Its history is rooted in deep traditions of using spices and natural ingredients in Indian gastronomy. The combination of fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and turmeric creates a rich flavor with harmonious nutty, spicy, and slightly sharp notes. The addition of green chili pepper adds a pleasant heat while lemon juice refreshes and enhances the flavor palette. This chutney is versatile—it can be used as a sauce, spread, or even marinade. It is recommended to serve it chilled to better reveal its taste and aroma. It’s the perfect addition to any Indian table.
