Avocado Chutney
Avocado chutney is a modern twist on the traditional Indian condiment. It is made by blending fresh avocado, coconut, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices into a smooth paste. The result is a creamy and flavorful chutney that is perfect for adding to sandwiches, burgers, and other dishes. Avocado chutney is also a great way to add some extra nutrition to your meals, as avocados are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins.

Once the seeds start to pop, add the avocado paste and cook for a few minutes until the chutney has thickened. Serve hot or cold as desired.
