Equipment
- 1 Small spoon or spatula for folding
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado diced
- 1 cucumber diced
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 green chili Thai pepper, serrano or jalapeno, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala or amchur Powder
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon pink salt
- ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
- salt to taste
- 2 teaspoon olive oil or mustard oil optional
- 2 tablespoon chaat sev for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables - Dice avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Drain any excess juice from the tomatoes. Finely chop red onion and green chili.
- Add everything & toss - Add the avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and green chili to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and lime juice, then sprinkle over chaat masala, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Fold gently until everything is coated, be careful not to mash the avocado. Taste, adjust salt or lime if needed.
- Garnish & serve - Fold in fresh cilantro, transfer to a serving platter, and top with sev for crunch, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chaat masala is the star spice - find it at any Indian grocery store.
- Mustard oil adds an authentic pungent kick; olive oil is milder and works great too.
- Add pomegranate seeds for a sweet pop of color and flavor.
- Make it heartier by adding boiled chickpeas or black chickpeas (kala chana) or paneer.
- Best served immediately to keep the avocado fresh and the sev crunchy.
