Handful of fresh cilantro leaves
Handful of fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 greenThai or serrano chilies
2 cups shredded, dried coconut
juice of 2 limes
Water as needed
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
In a food processor, blend the cilantro, mint, garlic, ginger, chilies, coconut, and lime juice until they form a paste. Add just enough water to make a moist (but not wet) chutney. Mix in the sugar and salt.
If you make this in advance, the coconut will absorb the water, so simply add more water to get the desired consistency before serving.

We have a green coconut spread in our fridge. My husband loves it. I hadn't thought you could make it, but it makes sense.
