The humble avocado has become a global superstar, gracing everything from Instagram feeds to breakfast tables around the world. From creamy smoothies to decadent desserts, the avocado's versatility knows no bounds. But have you ever tried it with a Bihari twist? In a video doing the rounds on the internet, a self-proclaimed foodie named Sharanya Chaturvedi prepares "Avocado Chokha" using two tomatoes, two avocados, one chilli, and one lemon. The Instagram video begins with the text, "POV: Your Bihari makes Avocado Bharta on toast." She starts by brushing the tomatoes with mustard oil and then places them over a medium-low gas flame to roast. Using tongs, she turns the tomatoes every few minutes until their skin is charred and flaky, and the flesh is tender. She repeats the same process for roasting the chilli.

Meanwhile, Sharanya cuts the avocados in half and scoops out the green, pulpy flesh into a bowl. She chops coriander leaves and onions, which are then mixed into the avocado along with the mashed roasted tomatoes and chilli. She adds some spices, a pinch of salt, and extra chopped coriander, combining everything thoroughly with a spoon. To finish, she drizzles a little more mustard oil on top. Finally, Sharanya spreads the bharta over some toast and squeezes fresh lemon over the open sandwich.
The video was captioned, "Avocado Chokha! Desi update to your vegan breakfast. You may write 'Jiya tu Bihar ka lala' for appreciation in comments." Take a look at the video below:
