December 31, 2023 · By Preeti Gupta, Ayurvedic Doctor-level certified (NAMA)

• Buy locally grown organic ingredients, if possible

  • 2 medium ripe avocados (slightly soft to the touch)

  • 1/4 red onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1-2 dried red chilies (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, more as needed

  • 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder

  • Rock salt (saindhav salt) to taste

• Avocados are rich in healthy fats and can be beneficial for balancing Vata dosha.

• Avocados are cooling in nature, so individuals with a predominantly Kapha constitution should consume them in moderation to avoid excess cooling effects.

Recipe Serves 3-4

Directions:

1. Slice avocados in half, scoop out the inside into a mixing bowl. Keep the seed aside and roughly mash the avocados using a fork.

2. Fold in the finely chopped onion, cilantro, and chilies. Add fresh lime juice, salt and cumin powder to taste. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients and enjoy.
