Avacado Chutney

This chutney is a welcome change to the traditional chutneys. It is healthy and has good fat content. It goes very well with idli, dosas and as a side for rice. 

Whats more, this is a big hit with the little man! 

Thanks to my sis-in-law,Divya, for getting me hooked to it

Ingredients:
1 medium avacado
1 medium tomato
1bunch corainder leaves
3-4  cloves garlic (Yes I am a garlic lover and I don't deny it)
2 chillies (add more to make it spicy!)
some curry leaves
1 tsp jeera
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt
Oil


Method:
  1. Heat oil and fry cumin seeds
  2. Add chopped tomato, coriander leaves, garlic, chillies and curry leaves and fry till tomato is done
  3. Let it cool
  4. In a grinder add the fried ingredients along with chopped avacado and some water
  5. Grind it till smooth paste. 
  6. Add salt and lemon juice and give a pulse to mix well
Variation:

Tip:
Adding lemon prevents the chutney from losing its green color and gives a tangy taste
Add bell pepper while frying to give extra zing! Thanks Preethi for the tip!
