Why Guacamole is good for you?

Guacamole is a dip made from avocados, originating in Mexico. It is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados and sea salt with a molcajete (mortar and pestle). Some recipes call for tomato, onion, garlic, peas, lemon or lime juice, chili or cayenne pepper, coriander or basil, jalapeño, and/or additional seasonings. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine it has also become part of international and American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.

My father is from the state of Kerala and my mother is from Uttar Pradesh. I have inherited a mix of the best cuisines of India, which brings me immense joy to this day.

My parents are my biggest inspiration. Both of them are very passionate about food, and they enjoy cooking as much as they enjoy eating!
