Indian Quesadilla with Avacado Guacamole

Living in California we have the advantage of enjoing all differant couisines of the globe. My passion is to pick up the healthy ideas of other cousines and incorporate them in Indian Food.

Last week when my son was visiting here from NY and asked me to make some snack for him but not deep fried. I had some cooked spinach roties in the refrigrator,so i came up with the idea of turning them into Quesadilla with low fat cheese and made some Guacamole to serve with it.He loved it so much that he wanted me to put this on my blog.

Before i go for the receipe i can't resist writing a few words about that innocent looking avacado.

Health Benefits Of Avacado
Avacado is always blamed for being high in calories, but look at its food value, its loaded with healthy monounsaturated fat,the kind found in olive oil and nuts.
Its high in fiber and is a good sourse of vitamin C and E, and potassium and magnesium.Its a great addition to salads, salasa, omeletes, smoothies and much more,but of coarse modration is the key.

Receipe For Guacamole
1 ripe but firm avacado
1 vine riped tomatoe chopped
1 small green chili seeded and chopped
1 Tbs onion chopped (is optional)
1-2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
Salt and cracked black pepper
Freshly roasted cominseed powder (bhuna jeera)
Handful of chopped cilantro leaves

Take a bowl, mash avacado and put rest of the ingredients in it,mix well and serve.
Receipe for the Quesdilla,i'll put on the blog next week.
