Note
Avocados oxidize quickly when exposed to air. To maintain the vibrant green color, cover the surface of the sauce directly with plastic wrap or a layer of cling film before storing in the refrigerator. Use within 24 hours for best quality.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can mash the avocado slightly before mixing, but leaving it chunky provides a better texture contrast with the mustard seeds.
For a milder heat, remove the white membrane from the inside of the red chilli before chopping, as this contains most of the capsaicin.
If you do not have fresh coriander, you can substitute with chopped cilantro or fresh parsley, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
