Grapes chutney with coconut milk 

Writing a food blog is a complicated and difficult business because it’s hard to find new inspirations and invent new recipes every day. But on some days magic makes itself and genius happen. Also, on these very days, words are elusive and hard, apparently. Anyway, long story short, I was trying to make grapes chutney or angurer chatni as we call it in Bengali, and instead of adding water I absent-mindedly added coconut milk. And guess what? I am never adding water to my angurer chatni again.
