    Easy Guacamole Recipe | Best Guacamole Recipe

    Avocados are a fruit that are a huge hit with health-conscious people. It is unlike any other fruit as it is not sweet and is high on good fats instead of carbohydrates. A ripe avocado has a mild buttery taste, a bit similar to tender coconut but not sweet at all. I got to taste this fruit for the first time in the US and was hooked on to it instantly. When we moved back to India, we found a variety of avocados in India that is called butterfruit in Bangalore. I remember that a relative served the mashed pulp with sugar reigniting fond food memories. What do you know! We planted a seed in our backyard. Nine years later (yes, patience pays!), we have a tall avocado tree that bears copious fruits.

    I have been experimenting with many avocado recipes since I have a bounty to play with. Though, I do still love to consume it just as it is, this easy guacamole recipe is a favourite in my house. Have it with nachos/chips or spread it on your toasted bread, it is immensely satisfying. You can also use avocado in your salads. My children love the avocado smoothie which is made by blending avocado pulp with some sugar and milk. You could try a variation by using avocado and banana and blending it with milk. Both are tasty and nutritious.

    Tips to choose the right avocado and ripen it:

    The avocados sold in India are generally sold unripe. Choose the ones that are bright green with white spots all over. These ripen well within 2-3 days. Do not buy ripe ones unless you are immediately consuming them. Store your unripe avocados in a paper cover along with bananas or apples. They help ripen the avocados faster. Once ripe, the Indian avocados look blackish in colour. They are also soft to touch and when pressed yield. That is the right time to cut it open. The flesh is a pale yellow with a green tinge.

    Notes

    1. If you are not consuming it immediately, do not mix the veggies and salt to avocado mash.

      I once had the chance of have some amazing avocado smoothie on a trip to Dubai. But back here, I got some avocados from a superstore and they turned out to be bitter. I'm unsure now, how to decide on buying good ones locally. The jalapenos in your recipe are tempting me to give it a try πŸ™‚

        You typically don't buy ripe ones in India because they will be too ripe by the time you consume it. To choose an unripe one, make sure that it is a healthy green colour with white spots. Keep it with bananas or apples to ripen it quickly within 2-3 days. Bitter avocados are rotten. The nice ones have a lovely, buttery taste. Hope these tips help. I will update the post as well.
