Notes

You can vary all the ingredients in both chutneys to taste. Especially the number of chilies and bilimbi.
If bimbul or bilimbi is not available, but you still want to try this recipe, I recommend using tamarind, tomato, raw mango, or star fruit (carambola) instead of bimbul.
I have used freshly grated coconut while making chutney. You can use dry or frozen grated coconut as well. While using frozen coconut, use hot water to blend the chutney or bring the frozen coconut to room temperature (thaw) and then blend.
