How to Make Avocado Chutney

  1. Dry roast 2 tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until uniformly golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. While coconut roasts, mash 1 ripe avocado in a medium bowl.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of the roasted coconut to the mashed avocado along with 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and the juice of 1 lime.
  4. Mix well to combine.
  5. In the same skillet, dry roast 4-5 cloves of garlic (with their skins on) over medium heat until the skins begin to brown and slightly char (about 5 minutes).
  6. Remove the garlic cloves from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Then, peel off the skins.
  7. Add the roasted garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves to a blender or food processor. Process until you achieve a smooth paste.
  8. Add the garlic-shallot paste to the avocado mixture.
  9. Stir in 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
  10. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
  11. Garnish with the remaining roasted coconut and serve immediately with dosas or puris. Enjoy!
