Ingredients:

1 cup water
250g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1 cup coriander leaves
16g
1 cup parsley
90g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
3 lb whole chicken
1360g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 onions
320g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Chutney:
- In a blender, combine the dried coconut meat, coriander leaves, spearmint, red hot chili peppers, garlic cloves, ginger root, and water. Blend until you get a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper both inside and out to taste.
3. Cook the Onions:
- In a large pot or a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the onions are golden and slightly caramelized, add the green chutney paste to the pot.
- Sauté the chutney and onions together for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Cook the Chicken:
- Place the whole chicken into the pot with the chutney and onions.
- Pour in enough water to cover the chicken halfway (if additional water is necessary).
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
6. Simmer:
- Let the chicken simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, turning it occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Check periodically to ensure the liquid doesn't dry out. Add a bit more water if necessary.
7. Finalize the Dish:
- Once the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C), remove the pot from heat.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving.
8. Serve:
- Serve the green chutney chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh coriander leaves if desired.
- Accompany with rice, naan, or your favorite side dish.

Tips:

- Make sure to blend the chutney ingredients until they form a smooth paste to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.

- Marinate the chicken with the green chutney for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

- Adjust the number of chili peppers based on your spice tolerance. You can add more or fewer peppers to achieve the desired level of heat.

- Toast the dried coconut briefly before blending to bring out its natural sweetness and enhance the overall flavor of the chutney.

- Use fresh coriander and mint leaves for the best results. Ensure they are washed and dried properly to avoid any water content that could dilute the chutney.

- Sauté the onions until they are golden brown before adding the chicken to add a rich, caramelized flavor to the dish.

With its vibrant green chutney and tender chicken, this Green Chutney Chicken recipe is sure to become a favorite. The balance of spicy, tangy, and fresh herbal flavors makes it a standout dish that's as delicious as it is visually appealing. Serve it with rice or naan for a complete meal.
