The Lazy Chef Cooking
Over the years, my horizons have expanded when it comes to condiments with my snacks. From Ketchups to Spicy Chutneys, to Hot Sauces and my latest love – DIPS. Garlic Dip, Mayonnaise, Blue Cheese Dip, Jalapeño Dip, Habanero dip – you get the drift.
As the newest member of the healthy living, healthy eating bandwagon – I was introduced to Avocados. I was intrigued about the fruit and read up all about its health benefits. Drove to the supermarket the next day, looked around for it, saw one – hesitated for a while – went ahead and picked it up.
To be honest, I did not like the way it looked. Yes, I am still a toddler who decides the taste of food by its looks. After tasting it in its usual form & as guacamole as well, my conclusion was – Nope, Nada, Zilch!! I’m a sucker for foods full of flavor. A big NO to food without spice and flavor. Naturally, the bland avocado will not be allowed on my list.
However, as a Vegetarian, and a choosy-tarian on top of it, who’s also inventing recipes to make sure my Little Fussy Eater gets all the nutrition, I could not stop thinking about the health benefits of Avocados. As a result of this, I brainstormed with my Indian Tastebuds & Mother instincts, and we were able to cook up this “Easy & Tasty Avocado Dip.” Now, there’s no going back 🙂 I LOVE AVOCADOS, *conditions applied* 😛
For this super easy and tasty dip, which is also Super Healthy too
YOU’LL NEED –
THE WORK –
Roughly chop the avocados, onion, and green chilies. If you want a creamy dip, you’d need to blend these items. Smaller pieces keep the blending process less time-consuming.
Sprinkle the salt and chaat masala and pour in the lemon juice.
Blend
Serve chilled with your favorite snacks 🙂
