Crazy with Avacados

Thanks to my maami(aunt),this is an amazing fruit i got used to after coming here.Filled with mono unsaturated fat which lowers cholesterol and antioxidants,it is so healthy.Other than using in salads,thanks to my friend sowmya i tried thugaiyal and it was a good accompaniment to have with rice.
One day,i made idli and intended to make some chutney.When i saw inside the refridgerator all i had was 2 avacados and 2 carrots.I just wanted to make the carrot chutney but there was not enough.I half heartedly added the avacado to the chutney and Hurray...the chutney was so good and an instant hit.This is a great side dish for idli,dosa,dhokla,rice....This is a healthy food you can make instead of the coconut chutney.It can be used as a dip too.

Ingredients:
1 ripe avacado
2 carrots chopped or grated
1/2 of a medium sized onion
1/2 tsp mustard(kaduhu)
1 tsp of black and bengal gram dhal
(udaicha ulutham paruppu and kadalai paruppu)
3-4 dry red chillies(milahai vatral)
1 1/2 tsp salt

Heat a tablespoon of oil,add mustard,dhals,chillies and asafoetida in the same order after the mustard crackles.When the dhals slightly change their colors,add the onion and carrots.Saute until the carrots' color start to change.Remove from fire and let it cool for 3-4 minutes.In the meanwhile remove the outer skin and the pit of avacado.When the carrots are cool,grind them along with the avacado with the salt.If u want a thick dip,have it as it is.Or add 1/4 cup of water.Enjoy!
This is my second entry to WBB.
