Coconut Peanut Chutney

I have been out of town for almost 2 months and when I came back there have been some changes which have happened in the stores at the home front.
Firstly, there used to be a KFC close to home which is being replaced by Starbucks...proof that the coffee giant of America is getting bigger.
Next, there is a Walmart neighborhood market coming in front of the Starbucks. Thats not the surprise. The surprise is there is a Walmart Superstore about 1 mile from this location. The general store giant is getting bigger also.
Another big surprise for me-Indian food items in Walmart as well as other grocery stores around here. So the other day I got the Gits brand Idlis from Walmart and I made them today and to go with them I combined my favorite along with my hubby dears . I love Peanut Chutney and his favorite is Coconut Chutney. So today it was Coconut Peanut Chutney. And here is the recipe
