Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Masher or fork
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 big Avocado
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Cheese: 2tbsp
  • 1 no Onion finely chopped
  • 1 no Tomato finely chopped
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Herbs
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

Selection of avocado:

  • Select a perfect avocado which is soft to touch and ripe. Do not use unripe avocado or spoilt ones.

Scooping and mixing:

  • It is perfectly easy to chop avocado. Start by passing the fruit with a sharp knife until it reaches the inner seed.
  • Simply twist the fruit and open the fruit. Using a metal spoon scoop out the avocado flesh in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash the pulp using a potato masher or fork. Do not use a mixer jar or grind the pulp, it becomes completely chutney like.
  • Mash until its creamy or chunky as per your preference. If you like it to be chunkier just mash it little and leave it as it is.
  • Add other ingredients one after another. Add lemon juice at first and this prevents browning of guacamole soon.
  • Add cheese, finely chopped onion, tomatoes, olive oil. Also add dried herbs, black pepper powder and salt.
  • Mix every ingredient well until combined and serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite nachos or papad.

Notes

Never use a cut open avocado, always use fresh whole ones. Cut open avocado tend to brown due to oxidation.
The secret to a perfect guacamole is to have all the ingredients in right proportions, so that we get good flavours of choice.
Always taste and check the seasoning before serving. It can be seasoned with extra salt and lemon juice if required.
Feel free to experiment with the ingredients by keeping avocado and salt as base. Guacamole can be made smooth or chunky depending on individual taste. 
Add lemon juice immediately to prevent browning of guacamole. 
Tomato, onion or any other veggie can be added and used for sandwich spread. 
Adding cheese is optional, this can be substituted with tofu or paneer.
