Coconut Raisins Pickle

COCONUT RAISINS PICKLE

Coconut Raisins pickle is so delicious beyond words. Chewy Coconut meat and the sweetness of Raisins go amazingly well together. 

I asked my beloved husband to buy a tender coconut to make pudding and he got me a normal coconut. There ends my pudding idea and then I thought why not a pickle. If not sweet then I will go spicy today. But this spicy revenge turns out to be a yummy pickle that we finished even before getting the rice on plate.
