Avacado Dip - Indian Style

Avocado fruit is a native of Mexico, mostly grown in the tropical climates. Avocado is one of the nutrient dense foods which is loaded with good mono saturated fats,  Vitamin K, folate, Potassium and lots of other good Vitamins. So, to make our snack time a bit healthy one, I made this Indian Style Avocado Dip ( or chutney ) to go with Lijjat pappad, little corn chips with a cup of  Hot Chai on the side.
Ingredients
Avocado - 2 Medium Size
Onion - 1/2 Medium Size finely shredded
Ripe Tomato - 1 Medium Size
Coriander Leaves - 1 Handful
Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp ( Depends on your taste bud )
Salt - To taste
Method
  1. Take few Lijjad Papads and fry it in the microwave without oil and keep it aside.
  2. Cut the onions and tomatoes into tiny pieces, finely shredded and keep it ready.
  3. Wash and cut the coriander leaves and keep it ready too.
  4. Take the 2 avocados and scoop the avocado from inside and put it in a round bottom vessel easy to mix.
  5. Add the onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, pepper powder, salt, lemon juice on top of the avocado and mix everything thoroughly.
  6. Mash it as much as possible so that it looks pasty.
  7. Now the Avocado Dip ( Chutney ) is ready to eat with pappads or corn chips.
Variations
Instead of black pepper powder, you can add finely crushed green chillies to the Avocado Dip if you like the taste of green chillies.
You can grind the Avocado for just few seconds before serving if you feel the pieces of onions, tomatoes are visible and not pasty. This makes the Dip more perfect.
