This is very famous traditional Maharashtrian chutney often made with Bhakri. It has many variants depending on the region. I am giving the recipe from villages of Marathwada which we follow in our home.

Fresh Cilantro - 1 Cup

Garlic - 10 cloves

Grated Coconut - 1/4 Cup

Salt - 1 Tsp

Oil - 1 Tsp

Method:

1) Chop green chili in big pieces and keep aside.

2) Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan, add garlic and green chili and fry for 4-5 min. on low medium flame.

3) Add cumin seeds and coconut and mix well.

4) Let it cool for 5 min. Add salt and roughly grind it.
