Avocado Toast

Honestly, I was very fascinated with avocados at cafes and restaurants and on people’s stories and posts about avocado toast, dip or salad. Before that, I hadn’t heard of them. Finally, I decided to try at a salad bar but was very disappointed. It was bland and flavourless. But my interest in avocados grew further. After reading a few recipes and inquiring with cousins, I made my version at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 Ripe Avocado (but not over-ripe)
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves (paste)
  • 2 Spoons of Curd
  • 1 Medium-sized Onion
  • 1 Small-sized Tomato
  • 1/2 Tsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt to Taste
  • Bread Slices

Preparation

Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes

  1. Cut the avocado into half and mash it in a small bowl.
  2. Add garlic paste, 2 spoons of curd, lemon juice and salt (if you want to spice it up, add a crushed green chilli).
  3. Now add chopped onions and tomatoes to it. Mix well.
  4. Season with salt, lime or chilli (the proportions can vary as per the taste and spice required).
  5. Toast the bread golden (well-toasted bread goes well with the creamy avocado).
  6. Spread the avocado mixture on a slice of toasted bread (you can also have the avocado spread with nacho chips).

I come from a Gujju family and was interested in food since childhood. It's a big part of my family and our lives. My supermom who cooks delicious food and dad who has always been a foodie would often take us to restaurants or sometimes order in over the weekends. I'm sure all this explains our connection with food. I'm a travel consultant by profession and my work has taken me places (literally :)), giving me the opportunity to visit different cities and countries and experience food from all around. That's one of the best things about travelling! Because of COVID, we're all at home and there's never been a better time to try my hand at cooking and relish homemade food.
