It is very tough to understand measurement of teaspoon & tablespoon. How much it mean in gram?
Response: Hello Parul, every ingredient has different density and weight. Using Teaspoon, Tablespoons and cups as a measure makes things easy as everyone do not have small weighing machine at home. You can refer to https://foodviva.com/cooking-measurements-conversions/ understand more about this measurement mechanism.

Can we make chutney without coconut?
Response: You can make it without adding coconut but texture and taste will change. Coconut gives it a dry texture and nice flavor.
If you want to make garlic chutney without coconut (semi dry texture) then try this recipe (https://foodviva.com/chutney-raita-recipes/lasun-chutney-recipe/).
