Ingredients
For the Dip
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or thick fresh curd
- 1 tsp Sarbu Black Salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For Garnishing

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado
First, cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the seed. Next, scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Blend the Dip
Now, add the Greek yogurt, Sarbu Black Salt, roasted cumin powder, black pepper, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, and mint to the bowl. Then, blend the mixture in a food processor until it becomes smooth and creamy. Alternatively, mash everything thoroughly with a fork if you prefer a slightly chunky texture.
Step 3: Adjust the Consistency
If the dip is too thick, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of chilled water or yogurt until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 4: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Garnish with fresh herbs, roasted cumin powder, and a light sprinkle of Sarbu Black Salt. Serve chilled.

Chef’s Tips
- Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly when gently pressed.
- Add a pinch of red chili flakes for a mild spicy kick.
- Cover the dip with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent the avocado from browning.
- Chill before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- Finish with an extra sprinkle of Sarbu Black Salt just before serving for a classic chaat-inspired taste.
