Instructions
Prepare the Guava: Begin by cutting the fresh Thai guava into small pieces. You can remove the seeds if you prefer a smoother chutney, but this step is optional.
Add Ingredients to Blender: In a blender jar, add the guava pieces, freshly cut coriander leaves, and green chillies according to your desired spice level.
Season the Mixture: Add salt to taste and the juice of one full lime to the blender.
Blend the Chutney: Add a small amount of water to the blender to help with blending. Blend the mixture for about one minute until smooth. Check the consistency and continue blending if you prefer a smoother paste.

Tips and Variations
- Customize Your Chutney: You can also dry roast the Guava on medium flame and then use it to blend. This will give a smoky flavor to the chutney. You can add a little sugar if you prefer a sweeter chutney.
