Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Avocados
Provide creamy body and richness that gives the chutney its smooth, cooling texture.
Red bell peppers
Add sweetness and soft texture, with roasting deepening their flavor.
Jalapeño peppers
Supply heat and a grassy, savory bite.
Cilantro
Contributes fresh, bright herbal aroma and green color.
Garlic
Adds pungent, savory depth that mellows with blending.

The step that matters

Gently stir in peppers and avocados. Avocado flesh browns and turns mushy when overworked or blended too long. Folding it in gently at the end keeps the diced pieces intact and the chutney bright green.
