Notes
You can store coconut chutney pudi for 15 days in a dry place in an airtight container and stay fresh when refrigerating for 1 month.
Make sure you cool down roasted dry coconut powder before blending else may release oil while blending. You can also use desiccated coconut instead of dry coconut.
You can dry roast curry leaves in the microwave for 90-120 secs.
Jaggery is optional, You can make spicy chutney powder without adding it too.
My chutney powder is extra red color because I used freshly made red chili powder from byadagi chilies OR you can use dry Kashmiri red chili powder to get nice red color.
