Push knife into shell away from you and, with a twist of the wrist, the meat should pop out. Peel thin, dark brown skin from white coconut meat, using paring knife or vegetable peeler. Shred the coconut meat in a food processor or on large holes of four-sided grater. One medium coconut yields 2 to 3 cups shredded coconut; use 1 cup for this recipe.

Add lentils; stir-fry about 30 seconds or until lentils are golden brown. Pour hot oil mixture over chutney; mix well. Cover tightly; store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
