Chef's Notes:

• You can add coconut if desired to the chutney 
• The more spicy the chutney is , the more taste it acquires
• You can even toss in some garlic cloves if desired , but be aware of the smell 
• A small piece of onion is just enough for the taste , don't add too much of onion or garlic to the pickle
