Avocado was once an uncharted fruit here in India. Westernization, Food Revolution has brought new experimental ideas in Indian Chefs. So is with me. It started with Avocado Juice and Milkshake. I myself have given the recipe of Avocado Paratha, Milkshake and Dessert. Any of these is my favourite. Currently, I am going to guide you in making Avocado Raita. Avocado Raita is a very simple recipe. It is good to taste and healthy too.

As it is, Avocado is tasteless, but smells good. If you add the right ingredients to it, it always tastes great. This recipe is quite easy and you can make it in few minutes. I learnt this from my hubby’s aunt. Looks similar to Canadian Avocado Salsa or Salad with Indian dressing. So I tried at home, we all liked it. It is better to have these types of Raitas, Tambli and Juices in summer. They naturally keep you hydrated and happy.
