Best Guacamole ever (from Cookie’s kitchen)

Recipe

Ingredients

2 tbsp lime juice

zest of one lime

1/4 -1/2 cup coriander leaves

1 clove of garlic

1 birds eye chilli (any small red chilli will do, small chillis are hotter than the long ones, I like the heat but if you don't just use half a chilli)

1 tsp Roasted cumin - finely ground

2 Medium Avocados

1 Small onion - finely chopped

1 small tomato - finely chopped

Salt to taste

Tips

To make roasted ground cumin, dry roast cumin seeds on a pan till they turn dark brown. Grind them to a fine powder and store. I usually make a batch and store it in jars.

Method

In a mortar and pestle add the garlic, coriander leaves, chilli, cumin, lime juice and zest and pound till you get a smooth paste.

Cut the avocados into half and remove the seeds. Scoop out the flesh and add it into the mortar along with the onion and tomato and a generous sprinkling of salt. Mix everything well with a spoon. Crush the avocado with the back of a spoon to get a chunky dip.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cumin powder. Serve with corn chips.
