Corn Chips with Salsa and Avocado Dip, Jain Salsa
by Tarla Dalal
The Corn Chips with Salsa and Avocado Dip is a three-in-one delight because each of its components is awesomely tasty and worth including in other combos too.
The Corn Chips is super crisp and super tasty with mild hints of spices and herbs. The uncooked, Jain-friendly tomato salsa and the quick and easy avocado dip are both perfect accompaniments for these chips.
The avocado dip has a creamy mouth-feel and lovely tanginess, thanks to lemon juice and tomatoes. While tang is the dominant flavour of the uncooked salsa too, it also takes on the vibrant spiciness of capsicum, the herby touch of dried oregano and the peppy aroma of cumin powder.
Together, the three are determined to delight, making this recipe an absolute must-try!
