Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocados — Ensure that the avocados are ripe but not overly soft for the best texture in the dip.
• Chili peppers — Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your desired level of spiciness.
• Lime juice — Use freshly squeezed lime juice for a vibrant citrus flavor.
• Cilantro — Rinse the cilantro thoroughly and chop it finely to evenly distribute its fresh taste.
• Tomatoes — Choose ripe tomatoes and remove the seeds before dicing them to prevent excess moisture in the dip.

Tips & Tricks

• For a creamier texture, blend half of the avocados instead of mashing them.
• Add a pinch of cumin or paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
• If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them.
• To prevent the dip from browning, place the avocado pits in the dip until ready to serve.
• Customize the dip by adding diced mango or pomegranate seeds for a sweet and tangy twist.

Serving advice

Serve the Hazaragi-style Spicy Avocado Dip in a bowl, garnished with a sprig of fresh cilantro. Accompany it with a platter of crispy tortilla chips or as a condiment alongside grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, drizzle a swirl of olive oil on top of the dip and sprinkle some additional chopped cilantro. Serve it in a colorful ceramic bowl to showcase the vibrant green color of the dip.
