Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- pinch pinch of hing asafoetida
- Finely ground Himalayan pink salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Pureed ripe tomato seeds and excess juice removed , to taste
Instructions
- Select three ripe avocados, ensuring they yield to gentle pressure without soft spots for a creamy guacamole base.
- Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, twist the halves to separate, and remove the pits with a spoon or a gentle tap from a knife.
- Using a tablespoon or a scoop designed for avocado, gently extract the avocado flesh and place it into a medium-sized mixing bowl, being mindful to keep the texture intact.
- Immediately add the juice of one lime to the avocado to prevent oxidation; lime provides not only flavor but also acts as a natural antioxidant.
- With a fork or a potato masher, coarsely mash the avocados until you achieve a slightly chunky texture, remembering that over-mashing can result in a less desirable pasty consistency.
- Stir in two tablespoons of finely chopped fresh cilantro to introduce a brightness to the guacamole, considering that cilantro's vibrant flavor can uplift the sattvic principles and balance the rich avocado.
- To substitute traditional onion, incorporate two tablespoons of finely chopped chives, providing a subtle, nuanced allium essence without breaking sattvic tenets.
- For a garlicky note without garlic, add a pinch of hing (asafoetida), sieved to remove any lumps, which contributes depth and umami to the dish.
- Season the mixture with finely ground Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the existing flavors without overwhelming them.
- Optional: Introduce a dash of pureed ripe tomato, ensuring the seeds and excess juice are removed, to add a refreshing note and a delicate sweetness.
- Mix all ingredients gently but thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly while maintaining the delicate texture of the avocado.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, perhaps adding a touch more lime juice for acidity, hing for depth, or cilantro for freshness to suit personal preference.
- Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to inhibit air contact and refrigerate until ready to serve, ideally within a few hours to appreciate the freshness of the guacamole.
