Avocado Chutney

(Indian Style Chutney With Avacado)

Avocado is a complete food with many essential nutrients like proteins, vitamin E, C, B, folic acid, iron, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. It has no cholesterol and is sodium free. Avocado shake with milk and sugar is a famous drink. It can be used to make salads, shakes, sandwiches etc.

In this recipe, I’ve tried to give an Indian touch to the fruit. Since the fruit has a neutral taste, it easily blends with the things that are added to it. This chutney can be had as a dip for chips or used to make sandwiches. It uses almost the same ingredients as the Mexican Guacamole but with Indian seasoning. Give this recipe a try.
