I have grown up eating and seeing my mother prepare green chutney.. its a quintessential accompaniment in Punjabi households :D
A fresh tasting herby chutney made primarily from coriander and mint leaves,but I am giving my own little twist to it. This Multipurpose Green Chutney is perfect ingredient to add in a bit of spiciness to any Indian chaat or to be used as a spread for sandwiches or to be used just as a side for hot samosa or pakoda or papad.
The texture of this Multipurpose Green Chutney is perfect and it can be served as a dip for chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Or drizzle it over Roasted Vegetables/panner tikkas .
For best results use the freshest cilantro leaves & Mint leaves you can find.
This Multipurpose green chutney gives ZING to any Indian appetizer , tastes yum on sandwiches and healthy too :D
Add in all the ingredients . add water as needed . you do not want the chutney too watery.
Give it a nice WHIRL...............
NOTE:If for some reason you dont want to use Avocado you can use 1 or 2 slices of bread or 5-6 whole cashew

Avacado is new to me for a Chutney, but im sure it will add richness and texture. Have to give this a try :)

Wow.. one of my favourite chutneys.. But what I like most here is the addition of avocado. Am sure it adds to the creaminess and makes a good sandwich spread. why did i not think of it :P
