Coconut-Lentil Chutney image

This is a one really easy and incredibly tasty chutney. This is my mom's recipe and no one makes it better, honest :) Store the chutney in the refrigerator (for not longer than a day; after that it usually goes bad), unless using it immediately, since the coconut makes it very perishable.

I'm not usually a fan of chutneys, but this one is a game-changer! The coconut and lentils make it so creamy and flavorful. I've been putting it on everything from grilled chicken to roasted vegetables.
