Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados soft but not collapsing
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • a handful fresh cilantro chopped
  • a handful fresh mint chopped
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp garam masala (optional)
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. 1) Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

  2. 2) Mash with a fork until chunky, not smooth.

  3. 3) Deseed the cherry tomatoes (the seeds will make the guacamole watery), then finely chop the flesh.

  4. 4) Add the tomatoes and chopped onion to the avocado.

  5. 5) Season to taste with cumin, garam masala, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

  6. 6) Add the chopped cilantro and mint.

  7. 7) Finish with the lemon or lime juice and stir until creamy and vibrant.

  8. 8) Taste and adjust — more lime, more salt, more spice.

  9. 9) Chill for 30 minutes.
