Fijian Coconut Chutney (Submitted by Dennis Santo Tomas) Much of Fiji’s food is inspired by Indian food. Coconut Chutney is delicious when served with Indo-Fijian curries or rice dishes. Whip up a batch and go to the tropics for an evening; it’ll be just what you need to warm up on a mid-February day.
