Avocado Papdi Chaat – Delicious Indian Mexican Fusion

I started talking about my chaat cravings in my last post and I am going to continue in this one as well. So y’all know what I am ready for more!!! More of the lick my fingers kind of street food that can only be found in the streets of Mumbai. More of the unique lip-smacking deliciousness that only this style of food can provide. When I added a touch of Mexican flair to the recipe, I was transported to CHAAT HEAVEN. Which is exactly what this “Avocado Papdi Chaat” did for me.

Chaat Cravings..

When I get into chaat eating mode I am basically stuck in neutral. I neither want to go ahead nor back. If possible I would love to stay there for a while (LAUGHS!!!!). I mean c’mon why would anyone even want to give up this sumptuous feast which at least to me is fit for the kings (CHUCKLES!!!). So it was time for the neurons in the brain to go into overdrive thinking about a new recipe.

But my wife beat me to the punch. I do not mind it if she keeps coming up with crazy ideas to put my brain to work. She had originally suggested a Masala Boondi recipe which basically means tiny fried gram flour balls rolled with a few basic spices. I didn’t fall in love with the recipe in the beginning because I thought it was too simple. So I decided to put my own spin on it by adding everyone’s favorite ingredient “Avocado” to it.

As to how the avocado turned into full-fledged guacamole I don’t know. Which meant tomatoes, onions, cumin seeds, jalapenos, lemon juice and chaat masala all followed each other into the mashed avocados and the above mentioned boondi. The original plan for wifey and I was to eat this mixture as it is which by itself is indeed mouth-wateringly delectable.

Tips to make best Guacamole

• Always get ripe avocados. If you do not find them then leave the unripe ones on the counter for a couple of days.
• To cut the avocados, run a knife around the avocado (from top to bottom) and twist. Pull out the pit and discard it. You can scope out the avocado flesh with a spoon or slice the avocado in segments.
• Always adjust the seasonings to your taste.
• I like to make it fresh, as it does not seem to stay green for long.

But then I decided to add one final flourish to the dish by serving the avocado boondi mixture on a crispy fried puri instead. The puri recipe is the same as I have previously made and can be found HERE. Now that’s what I call signing off with a bang!!! Ahh on second thoughts I think I am going to start wolfing down these bite-sized goodies right now???
