Guacamole

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

Avacado is a fruit, which botanically is a fruit but tastes like a vegetable, and is used as both a fruit and a vegetable in many cuisines. I used to hate this because of its bland taste and as Indians, we are really not very fond of bland things. When I got pregnant, I decided to try it keeping its nutritional value in mind. As I ate it a few times, I started liking it. Nowadays, I make it at home often.

Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 10 min
Makes: 2-3 servings

Ingredients:
Avacado:  1
Tomato: chopped into 1/8" cubes, 1 tbsp
Onion: chopped to the same size as tomatoes, 1 tbsp
Garlic: 1/2 tsp, grated
Green chillies: 2, finely chopped
Lime juice: 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Cilantro: 1 tbsp, chopped

Cut the avacadoes in half, working around the big pit in the middle. Separate the halves. In the half with the pit, smack the blade of the knife into the pit and twist it out. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Mash it well with a fork, along with the lime juice (or it will brown on you fast) and grated garlic. Add all the other ingredients except for cilantro and mix well. Add cilantro, mix well and serve.

It goes well with tortilla chips (or any other chips) or pita bread.
