Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl using a spoon.
- Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Adjust the texture to your preference.
- Finely chop the red hot chili peppers. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds before chopping.
- Wash and finely chop the scallions and fresh coriander leaves.
- Add the chopped chili peppers, scallions, and coriander leaves to the bowl of mashed avocados.
- Stir in the ground cumin.
- Pour in the lime juice and mix well to combine.
- Add salt to taste and stir until the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Taste the dip and adjust salt, lime juice, or cumin if needed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with additional chopped coriander leaves or a sprinkle of cumin powder if desired.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides like pita bread, tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or use as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.: Ripe avocados yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they feel too firm, let them ripen at room temperature for a day or two.
- Control the heat level.: If you prefer a milder dip, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them. For extra heat, add the seeds or increase the number of chili peppers.
- Mix ingredients thoroughly.: Use a fork to mash the avocados first, then carefully fold in the other ingredients to evenly distribute the flavors without over-mixing.
- Keep it fresh.: To prevent the dip from browning, add an extra splash of lime juice and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
The Indian spiced avocado dip is not only flavorful but also easy to prepare, making it an excellent choice for any gathering or casual snack. The combination of creamy avocado with the spice and tangy notes creates a harmonious blend that is sure to be a hit. Serve it chilled, and enjoy the burst of flavors with your favorite sides!
