Fresh Green Chile Chutney

The fresh flavors in this chutney are a treat. Use it to stuff a whole fish, or as a condiment for grilled fish or grilled chicken, or as a simple topping for rice. If you use the six green chiles called for, the sauce is quite hot, though the coconut softens the impact of the chiles. Traditionally the chutney is made using a mortar and a pestle, but this is one case where a food processor is not only easier, but also does just as good a job of reducing the ingredients to a salsa texture.</
