Since I started my business, I am on a quest to create Indian Tapas.
Today I was passing a little mexican restaurant on my way back from a run, and I decided to be inspired. Mexican and Indian food are similar in the sense they use quite a few common ingredients. Avocado, however is not one of them. I thought why not indianize the ever popular guacamole? So here it is- super easy and my successful experiment for the day.
