Dry Coconut Chutney/ Varutha Thenga Chammanthi

Packing food for a journney gives a kinda festive mood back at home; my mom would pack food for each and every long and short trips we have gone for, its kind of fun to have food on your journey, and now i just love to do that, atleast if not for us atleast for our little one , i would want her to have homemade food for atleast one time when on a journey.

Now this Chutney is a dry one, i would say its just one of the kind, we love it and super easy breezy recipe, it just takes few mins in kitchen to have this yummy chutney, i would highly recommend you trying this out.
