Avocado chutney (South Indian style), is a very simple dip, which can be made in a jiffy using South Indian spice combinations.
So, this is the story behind making this simple chutney. 🙂 I started using avocado(s) in my recipes, after trying this Avocado – Mango Milkshake, which I liked it a lot. Over the weekend, I prepared the batter, and got all set for making Idli, for breakfast.
And I placed the idli (s) for steaming. Now, I have just 10-12 mins for the chutney to be ready. And, I didn’t have fresh coconut pieces ready to make Coconut Chutney .
Instantaneously, this idea popped into my head, on seeing an avocado lying in the fruit basket. Just followed my own recipe of this and that, but you got to try this, IT TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY YUM! And with idli(s) it was great!!

This was so delicious. Thank you for sharing. We had it with Dosa. We never have leftovers for the next day!
Hi Vijaya! Most welcome dear! 🙂 Great to know this! Thank you so much for trying my recipe and letting me know your excellent feedback!
I just realized that I sautéed the onion before I added the tomatoes. The recipe missed mentioning what to do with the onions.
Hi Vijaya, I did not add any onions in my recipe. But, I gave options under ‘Tips’ about when & how to add onions. Please check. Hope this helps. 🙂
Innovative!!
Thank you! 🙂🙏
I tried this out and it was really flavourful! Sautéing the onion and garlic at the very end, but not to the point of making it mushy, gave a good crunchy contrast to the creaminess of the avocado and tomato. Loved it! ❤
Hi Ann Mary Thomas, Thanks a lot for giving this excellent feedback. 🙂🙂 Yes, thats what even I like to do about onion, garlic. 🙂
