Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Make sure the avocados are ripe but not overly soft. They should be slightly firm to the touch.
• Cilantro — Rinse the cilantro leaves thoroughly and pat them dry before chopping to remove any dirt or impurities.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red chili powder or a finely chopped green chili.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the chutney in a food processor instead of mashing it by hand.
• Adjust the lime juice and salt according to your taste preferences.
