I only had one avocado, so I bulked it up with a can of chickpeas - which also adds protein, a win-win. I also swapped out the cilantro for basil. It's very tasty!
I haven’t made this yet but 6 tsp. of garlic sounds excessive. Anyone have any thoughts about that?
Had to look up fresh coriander, as I only have seeds. Surprised to learn that it's cilantro because I would have thought it would be called that in an American recipe
