ERRA KOBBARI PACHADI (COCONUT CHUTNEY WITH DRY RED CHILLIES)

In Andhra Pradesh (South India) break fast means idli, dosa, oothappam, pesarattu for all these breakfast varieties normally we make coconut chutney as a side dish. At my place every day grating coconut is the first work, Amma use to make 1 full coconut chutney for every day and also she makes each day a different coconut chutney. This erra kobbari pachadi is my mom's specialty I must say. When ever I make this pachadi I don’t get the taste like what Amma use to make. This erra kobbari pachadi is a perfect combination for dosa and hot steamed rice with a drop of ghee. I am missing my mom s cooking a lot.............
