- like Mumbai roadside coconut chutney recipe | Indian street food coconut chutney | chutney for idli, dosa, uttapam, vada | There are different types of chutneys – wet chutneys and dry chutneys. While most wet chutneys are the most delicious when freshly made, some wet chutneys can also be kept in the fridge and used for a couple of days.
