@Sch: How did it turn out? When I make dosa, I tend to make coconut chatni. This is my version, which is a spin-off of my mother's version. She used peanuts when she couldn't afford/find Daliya.

1 whole coconut, removed from the shell (save the water too), cut into pieces
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
3 sprigs curry leaves
5 - 8 whole green Thai Bird chiles, stems removed
4 TB daliya (use roasted peanuts if you can't find daliya)
Water
Salt, to taste

In a blender, add the onion, curry leaves, chiles, and coconut (in that order). Add the coconut water. Blend on low until the coconut is chopped up. Have about a cup or two of water at the ready. Increase the speed, and add more water, so that the coconut continues to get finely chopped. Add the daliya, and keep blending. You should end up with a puree of the coconut. It will be delicious.
