White Coconut Chutney

My great grandmother liked her White Coconut Chutney to be perfectly white.So, to omit the green flecks of chilli, she had a white chilli plant potted especially for this one recipe ! (I'm not kidding, it realy does exist! )
Back in the day, when grinders didn't exist, chutneys like these were made by grinding the ingredients on a stone slab with a grinding stone called a pata-varvanta (पाटा  वरवंटा).
Recipe for White Coconut Chutney:

How to make White Coconut Chutney:
