Avocado with Palm Sugar

Avocado with Sauce I

Avocado with Sauce II

Special thank to amazing ‘Anonymous’ who left a comment in my blog regarding avocado. ‘Anonymous’ mentioned that the Fruit Seller said that eating avocado with honey is delicious and recommended me to try. Seriously, I had never tried that before. Well, I was thinking how about a vegan version. Then the idea of using Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar) came to my mind. The result was not bad. I had 2 different sauce versions for dipping the avocado in. One is thicker and the other is more like syrup. It depends on personal preferences. Alternatively, you can blend the avocado into a creamy paste and add gula melaka on it. Ripe avocados are those that are brownish in colour and soft to touch, not the greenish one!

Avocado by itself is rather bland and when I was eating it yesterday, it had a taste so familiar and yet I cannot recall immediately. It took me a long time and I finally got it and came up with two recipes.

Preparation: 8 minutes

Ingredients (serves 1)
° 1 ripe avocado, diced or blended

Sauce I – Thick Gula Melaka Sauce
° 25g gula melaka (palm sugar), finely chopped
° 1 teaspoon hot water

Sauce II – Gula Melaka Syrup
° 25g gula melaka (palm sugar), finely chopped
° 25ml-30ml hot water

Method
1. Combine gula melaka and hot water. Stir until the gula melaka dissolved.
2. Serve as a dipping sauce for avocado or drizzle over the creamy avocado.
