For us Indians, we'd probably know it as simple Chickpea Paste or Chana Paste. No Big Deal.

Learn How to make Guacamole | Simple Guacamole Recipe | Guacamole Dip As a kid, whenever Amma and I went to the local fruit juice shop back in India, I'd always choose between two and only two fruits. The king of fruits, MANGO and the other was the lesser known and slightly more expensive " BUTTERFRUIT". Little did I know that as I'd grow up, I'd find out the actual name of this fruit is AVOCADO and that I'd be a huge fan of using this in my meals. I was so oblivious to the fact that the dip that restaurants served with their Nachos/Corn Chips was actually Avocado based GUACAMOLE | GUACAMOLE DIP. Looking at how obsessed I am with Guacamole / Guacamole Dip it is safe to say that I look forward to spending some part of my life in Mexico, by the beach, drinking Corona and binging on nachos and tacos and burritos 🌯 and freshly made Guacamole | Guacamole Dip. Mexican man on the side would be great too 😋😋 WHAT YOU NEED FOR GUACAMOLE | GUACAMOLE DIP
