Notes
- Chopped mint leaves or cilantro could be added for additional flavors if preferred.
- Adding garam masala powder to the dough mix is another option to get some extra flavor.
- Be sure not to skip adding lemon to avocados to avoid them from turning brown.
- Add any green leaf puree like spinach, or kale for a healthier variation.
- You could also add grated ginger and garlic for extra flavor. I prefer keeping it simple without adding them.
