the quickest
guacamole

No photo of this one. I went through the whole camera roll and there is genuinely nothing, which is impressive considering how often I make it. Next time, I promise.

no macros on this one

The pasta needed a calorie count because that is what everyone asks about pasta. Nobody is asking that here. It is avocado. It is fat. That is the whole point of it.

Best on toast. Also chips, also just a spoon, standing at the counter at eleven in the night.

what you need

Five things, and the fifth one is optional.

04

haan lemon. do not skip it

method

  1. 01

    first, is the avocado ripe

    There is a small round cap at the top where the stem was. Flick it off. Comes away easy, it is ready. Fights you, it is not. Your hand knows the rest, thoda dabao and see.

  2. 02

    not ripe, microwave it

    A minute. I would not do this. You are clearly in a hurry though, so.

  3. 03

    mash it, back of a fork

    Leave some lumps, that is the good part. If it is being stubborn just blitz it, koi nahi.

  4. 04

    chop the trio really fine

    Tomato, onion, garlic. Everyone rushes this one. Then you get a whole piece of raw onion in your mouth and the entire thing is over.

  5. 05

    everything else in

    Salt, pepper, chilli flakes, lemon. Mix. Bas, guacamole ready.

  6. 06

    eat it on whatever is lying around

    Toast, crackers, chips. My dad has it with puri and honestly he is onto something.

Measurements approximate. Tested on me, repeatedly.
