Notes

  • Make sure to add garlic, it adds a mild garlic aroma to the dip. Use just one clove of garlic, don't add too much garlic which may over power the dip.
  • I add a bit of coriander stalks along with garlic when mudlling, which blends into the guacamole while making it more fresh.
  • Make sure to add some finely cubed avocado in the end which adds contrast texture.
  • Always taste and adjust lemon juice to your taste.
  • Be generous with the cilantro leaves for fresh taste.

Storage & Serving 

You can make avocado and store it in an air tight container in fridge upto 3 to 4 days. Enjoy guacamole with tortilla chips.
