Lets start with the Avocado dip. Did you know that Avocado is filled with potassium which is a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. So an adequate intake of potassium can help guard against circulatory diseases, like high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke.

Here are some tips to pick the perfect Avocado

Tip 1. Select heavy, unblemished fruit. Most market will sell unripe and hard avocados. So after you bought one, allow it to ripe between 3 to 6 days.

Tip 2. If avocado yield slightly to gentle pressure, it’s ready to be eaten

Tip 3. If you need to speed up the ripening process, place avocados in a paper bag with apple or banana. Never put avocado in a fridge since it will make the ripening process significantly slower.

Avocado Dip

• 1 Ripe avocado peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup light sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
• 1 tbls Jalapeno seeded and chopped
• 1 tbls fresh chopped cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste

Place the Avacado, milk and light sour cream in a food processor or Magic Bullet if you have one and blend.

Once Blended add the remainder of ingredients and pulse until smooth. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Tortilla Chip Chicken

I found that the best way to cook this recipe is in chicken fingers. Which would also be great for the kids.

First Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

• 1/2 bag Tostitos tortilla chips
• 1/2 cup Tostitos medium fat free salsa
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper
• Grapeseed oil
  

Put tortilla chips in a food processor and pulse till coarsely ground. Transfer to a shallow dish.

Blend egg with and salsa together with a fork in a shallow dish

Place flour in a third shallow dish

Dredge chicken dish in the flour then dip into the egg mixture to coat. Then transfer the chicken to the ground tortilla chips. Patting the crumbs onto both sides until fully covered.
Saute chicken in the grapeseed oil on medium to hight heat until golden brown. Approximately 3 min each side.

Once browned tranfser to the oven and roast until cook through. This will take about 8-10 min.
Now you are ready to serve.

• 3 chicken breasts
• 4 tbsp olive or groundnut oil
• 5 cardamom pods
• a 5cm cinnamon stick
• 1 ½ onions
• 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ to 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp garam masala powder
• 1 large tomato
• 1 tsp tomato purée
• 150 ml water
• Salt to taste
• 1 cup Yogurt

Step 1

Puree the tomato and set aside for later. Next, finely chop the onions.  Cube the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with a little salt

Step 2

Mix together in a bowl the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and paprika. This is now your masala paste

Step 3

Put the oil into a pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick, leave for a few seconds and then remove. This will flavour the oil. Add the onions and cook while stirring, until brown.

Step 4:

Add the masala paste and stir for a minute.

Step 5:

Add the tomato and tomato purée and stir for a minute till thoroughly combined.

Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.

Taste the sauce and season with salt if necessary.

Step 6:

Add the chicken cubes and mix well into the masala. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked and tender. Check this by piercing the chicken with a sharp knife – if it goes straight through and comes out clean, it is done. For a weaker curry flavour add i cup of yogurt. Mix well and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and place in your serving dish
