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.
