ingredients

  • 2 lg avocados
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • ½ cup fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 16 fresh curry leaves
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • For the spice-perfumed butter:
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil
    • 2 tsp black mustard seeds
    • 2 tsp garlic, minced
    • 1 cup chopped onions
    • 1 teaspoon curry powder
    • 8 chiles, seeded and minced

directions

1. Cut the avocado in half. Remove the seed and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Chop the pulp roughly. Blend in the lime juice, coriander, curry leaves, and salt. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the mustard seeds. Keep a pot lid handy, as the seeds may spatter and fly all over. When the spattering stops, add the garlic and let sizzle for 5 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until limp (about 3 minutes). Add the curry powder and chiles, mix, and continue cooking for 1 more minute. Add the avocado mixture and turn off the heat. Stir to mix all ingredients. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

NOTES : Can use any light vegetable oil for the coconut oil.
