About the event : 

Sending this to the Shhh Secretly Cooking Challenge. It is a monthly event.  The theme for the month of May was No Cook Recipes. It was suggested by Renu Agarwal Dongre of cookwithrenu.com. She has made a tasty tofu avocado and chive spread. 

I was paired with Seema of Mildly Indian. Seema asked me to use raw mango and I have prepared  the spicy murmura snack with the same. In turn, I asked  Seema to make something with avocado and she made a no cook spinach avocado soup.
