Sesame Chutney With Coconut

Sesame has various health benefits. Here is the recipe for sesame chutney. It is very easy and simple to prepare. Sesame seeds are great source of calcium. Sesame contains copper, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins. They are great for health also provides daily proteins and vitamins.

This sesame chutney is different from the usual chutney. Many of us are bored out of regular chutneys. This chutney gives a different flavor to your taste buds. It goes well with idli, dosa, chapathi and even with plain rice. It can also be used as a spread for bread or as a dip for kababs and vadas.
