Anu’s Tips & Tricks to Make the Best Avocado Chutney
-
Extra Heat: I have used mildly hot green chilies here. To make it spicier, you can use hot green chilies.
-
No Heat: If you are making it for kids, make sure to omit the green chilies from this recipe.
-
Creamy: To make it extra creamy and protein-rich, you can add a dollop of chilled Greek yogurt to this chutney.
-
Avocado Raita: You can transform this chutney into raita by mixing 2-3 tablespoons of avocado chutney with 1.5 cups of chilled whisked yogurt, fresh cilantro, and a dash of roasted cumin powder.
-
Lime Juice: I have used fresh lemon juice here, but you can also use lime juice. Store-bought lemon or lime juice can also be used here.
-
Garnishing: I have garnished this chutney with cherry tomatoes, almond flakes, and red pepper flakes, but garnishing this chutney is totally optional. You can serve it as it is and it will be super delicious.
