  Would go easier on the citrus as I love the taste of avocado and it got a bit lost. Was also a little worried about making the potatoes too spicy and ended up with them too bland instead, next time will probably use a bit more chilli powder or even chilli flakes. Will make again!

  I made the dip exactly as said but used sweet potato wedges with the cumin and chilli as I'm a big fan of sweet potato. Used 3 big sweet potatoes cut into wedges with the oil and a teaspoon and a half of cumin and same again chilli powder and just oven cooked for about 40 minutes. They went down a treat with the dip as part of a mexican banquet style meal.

  I made the dip exactly as the recipe said, but the result had a rather more runny consistency that I would have preferred and the citrus flavour was too overpowering for my liking. Maybe my avocados (I used 4) were too small. Anyway, if I were to repeat this recipe I would use half the amount of lemon & lime juices and half the amount of yogurt and then add more after tasting to check!

  I was inspired by this recipe and the ingredients present in my home, rather than following it exactly, so I can't really rate the recipe as I didn't really make it. However, I really loved the what I made based on this, so I thought I'd share my version here: I made wedges out of larger potatoes rather than using whole baby potatoes, I used cumin powder rather than seeds, and added coriander powder as well. I was quite liberal with the chili, cumin and coriander. For the dip, I just used the juice of half a lemon and didn't include the lime, and I added a couple of cloves of garlic, a handful of fresh coriander, and salt, and put all of it through the food processor rather than stirring in avocado chunks. It was goooooooood :)

  Oh, and I used plain soy yogurt rather than dairy.
