Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare 1 ripe avocado, cubed — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.

  2. 2

    Cube the avocado last and coat immediately with lemon juice, folding gently so the pieces hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil, crackle mustard and urad dal with curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the mix.

  4. 4

    Add salt and the dressing only just before serving, and toss lightly with your fingertips.

  5. 5

    Serve the avocado salad fresh and cool as a side with rice or as a light meal on its own.
