Guacamole

I first came to know about guacamole only during my last abroad trip. When I tasted it for the first time, I didn't like the taste. Later, I came to know that we can make this at home easily with available ingredients. So, just added other ingredients with avocado and adjusted the taste as per my personal preference. It has become an addictive recipe at home now. I just added more chillies and lime juice to make it as my family favourite and my choice is to eat with spicy corn tortilla chips.


Basic Information:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2

 

Ingredients:


Avocados - 1 no, ripen

Red Onion - 1 no, small size, finely chopped
Tomato - 1 no, medium size, finely chopped
Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Green chillies - 2-3 nos,
Salt - to taste
Lime juice - to taste

Method:


1) Cut the avocado in a vertical position. This helps the seeds to come out quickly. Scoop the creamy inner part using a spoon from the thick skin.

2) Mash it well.

3) Add mashed avocado, red onion, green chillies, tomato, coriander leaves, salt and lime juice in a mixer/food processor. Grind it for just less than half a second.

4) Serve immediately with corn/tortilla chips.

Note:
1)  All the ingredients can be increased or decreased as per individuals taste.
2)  For quick avocado, simply add salt, red chilli powder and lime juice and enjoy with corn chips.

3)  Choose firm and ripen avocado for best guacamole.

Top Choices for a Bathroom Countertop

For homeowners facing a bathroom remodeling project, choosing the right finishing materials can be quite a dilemma. The finished product’s appearance, benefits, price, and quality are all major considerations. Below are four popular choices for bathroom countertops.

Granite countertop installed by KHI

Granite - It’s no secret that granite is one of the best types of countertops for a bathroom. Aside from its beauty, granite is long lasting, stain and scratch resistant. It is the most durable material and easiest to care for material of any of the natural stones. There are hundreds of color choices, each and every granite slab is unique. Cleaning granite is easily done with warm water and a liquid detergent (avoid abrasive cleaners). Small chips and scratches can be polished down and very easily repaired if it’s damaged. If you’re looking for a countertop to last a lifetime, you may want to consider granite.

Manufactured Quartz - Manufactured quartz imitates the look of limestone, granite or marble, but is even more resistant to scratches and stains. It is also nearly twice as strong as natural granite and is available in a wide variety of colors and thicknesses. Quartz is the material to choose if you're considering a countertop with a specialized edging. It is a great choice for the bathroom because it is practical, durable, easy to clean, and doesn't require sealing.

Tile - Tile has always been a popular material for bathroom countertops. If you choose tile just be aware that you will need to clean the grout. Though today’s larger tiles eliminate the need for numerous grout lines, you can use a colored grout that doesn't show dirt as easily and which plays off the color of the tile. Although grout lines need regular maintenance and cleaning, tiles can be easily cleaned with any household detergent.

Solid-Surface Materials - Designed to look like expensive natural stone, solid surface is one of the most popular countertop options because it is economical yet extremely durable and crack-resistant. Scratches can be easily sanded out using fine-grit sandpaper and cleaning requires nothing more than a non-abrasive household cleaner and a damp sponge, wipe the surface dry afterwards. Choose a solid-surface material if you're concerned about mold or mildew as the nonporous, hypoallergenic surface discourages the growth of these allergens.
