Avocado Cheese Sev Puri – A Fusion Chaat You Can’t Miss

Avocado Cheese Sev Puri is a bold and delicious fusion twist on traditional Indian street food that combines the creamy richness of avocado with the spicy, tangy crunch of classic sev puri. This innovative snack brings together global ingredients and Indian flavors in a way that’s both comforting and exciting. It’s a dish that feels modern yet deeply rooted in familiar textures and tastes, perfect for those who love experimenting with chaat at home.
The fusion works beautifully. Avocados add a buttery smooth texture that contrasts with the crunch of the puris and the sev. When paired with ingredients like raw mango, black beans, fresh veggies, and a trio of chutneys, each puri becomes a mini explosion of flavor. Adding cheese especially when blow-torched or broiled, creates a gooey, irresistible topping that takes this dish to the next level of decadence.
What really sets this version apart is the way it combines global elements with traditional Indian flair. The inclusion of black beans and cheese gives a nod to Tex-Mex flavors, while chaat masala, black salt, and lime juice keep the soul of Indian street food alive. It’s playful, colorful, and completely customizable based on your spice tolerance or chutney preference.
Avocado Cheese Sev Puri is best served fresh, right after assembling, so the puris remain crisp and the cheese stays warm and gooey. Whether you’re hosting guests or simply craving something fun and flavorful, this dish delivers in both presentation and taste.
Ingredients

For the Avocado Filling:
• 1-2 Ripe Avocado, mashed
• 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 Medium Tomato, finely chopped
• 1-2 Green Chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 2-3 tbsp Coriander Leaves, finely chopped
• ¼ cup Cucumber, finely chopped
• ¼ cup Raw Mango, finely chopped
• Juice of ½ Lime
• ½ tsp Chaat Masala
• ¼ tsp Cumin Seed Powder
• ¼ tsp Black Salt
• ½ cup Boiled Black Beans

For Assembly:
• Ready-To-Use Pani Puri Puris or Flat Papdi Puris
• ¼ cup Green Chutney
• ¼ cup Sweet Tamarind Chutney
• ¼ cup Garlic Chutney
• ½ cup Nylon Sev
• ½ cup Shredded Amul Cheese or Mozzarella
• Chaat Masala, Red Chili Powder, Black Salt (for sprinkling)
• 2-3 tbsp Pomegranate Arils (for garnish)

Steps to Assemble
1. In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in chopped onion, tomato, green chili, coriander, cucumber, and raw mango.
2. Add lime juice, chaat masala, cumin powder, and black salt. Mix well to form a chunky salsa-like mixture.
3. Fold in the boiled black beans and mix until evenly combined. Set aside.
4. Take ready puris and gently create a cavity, gently breaking top part with help of thumb or finger.
5. Arrange puris or papdis on serving plate, fill or top each with a spoonful of the avocado mixture.
6. Top with green chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, a bit of garlic chutney and sprinkle little bit nylon sev.
7. Add a generous layer of shredded cheese over each puri.
8. Use a blow torch to melt the cheese slightly for a charred, melty effect. Alternatively, broil in an air fryer or oven for 30–40 seconds until cheese is just melted.
9. Sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala, chili powder, and black salt.
10. Garnish with pomegranate arils and a light dusting of nylon sev.
11. Serve immediately with extra chutneys on the side.
Tips & Tricks
• Make Ahead: Prepare the avocado mix and keep it chilled but only assemble the puris right before serving to maintain crunch.
• Cheese Choices: Use Amul for that Indian street-style flavor, or mozzarella for extra meltiness.
• No Blow Torch? No problem — just pop them in an oven or air fryer on broil for under a minute.
• Customize Heat: Adjust the number of green chilies and chutneys to match your spice preference.
• Add Crunch: Sprinkle crushed nacho chips or papdi for extra texture if desired.
