Recipe cuisine: International; Category: Lunch/dinner

Prep time: 10 mts; Cooking time: Nil

Yields 4 toasts

These are the unripe Avocados...to make them ripen fast, keep them wrapped with couple of ripe bananas inside a brown paper bag 

When it gets this color, and is soft to touch, it is fully ripe

Cut in the center, open the fruit, then remove the skin and the big seed

Scoop out the soft and creamy flesh and mash

Add finely chopped green chillies, onions and tomatoes, and salt to taste

add cilantro and mix well

add lemon juice too. A word of caution: this mixture should be used immediately , otherwise, it will discolor. So, it's better to make it just half an hour before lunch or dinner time, quickly toast the bread and use.

4 dry toasts; they can be toasted in an electric toaster or a non stick tava.

Apply liberally the avocado mixture (also called guacamole) and enjoy!! with any soup! I served it with tomato soup. Please check my Soup varieties
