Equipment

  • pan

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until onion becomes light golden brown.
  2. If using tomato, add chopped tomato now and cook for 2 minutes until it softens slightly.
  3. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and red chilli powder (if using). Stir for 30 seconds so spices release aroma.
  4. Gently add avocado cubes. Stir carefully to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on low heat.
  5. Add salt. Mix gently. If curry feels too thick, add 2-3 tbsp warm water and stir.
  6. Turn off heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh coriander leaves and gently mix. Serve hot with roti or steamed rice.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocado to avoid mushy curry. You can add a splash of low-fat coconut milk for more creaminess.
