1. 1Step 1: In a small mixer, grind the grated coconut and the green chilies until the chilies are well ground. If using frozen coconut, thaw the coconut before using.

3. 3Step 3: Place both the flours, ground coconut / green chilies mixture, salt to taste and butter in the food processor bowl.
4. 4Step 4: Run the food processor to combine all the ingredients. Now add the chopped onion and combine. Slowly add just enough water to make a stiff dough. Be careful when adding water as the coconut and onion has enough moisture.
