Onion Coconut Chutney

Onion Coconut chutney is very tasty chutney made with small onions and coconut. All the ingredients in this chutney are well friend and ground to a paste. This chutney has a light reddish-brown colour when done. If you are bored of the regular coconut chutney, try this for a change and enjoy a different tasty chutney. I generally make this chutney as a side dish for Parupu Adai  and I find that combo simply delightful. This chutney goes well even for Pesarattu.
