Oct 24, 2024 Finger foods are my favorite part about a holiday dinner. They are easy to eat, easy to serve and just so fun to put together. After using phyllo shells to make my coconut burfi baklava cups last year for Diwali, I wanted to use them in a savory recipe this year and that’s how I came up with these Chickpea Avocado Bhel Cups. I take a shortcut here and use store-bought bhel mix and that makes the entire recipe very easy to put together. It’s all about mixing all the ingredients together and then filling your baked phyllo shells with them. And we can’t forget the pretty pomegranate arils on top to make them look festive!
How to Make These Chickpea Avocado Bhel Cups
Does It Get Soggy?
The bhel mix does get soggy as it sits. I would bake the shells, sauté the chickpeas and keep everything ready and make the bhel mix as the last dish before my party starts. The good part about these shells though is that the phyllo shells remain crispy even if the bhel mix gets soggy after a while. So you still get all those flavors with the crispy and flaky phyllo shells to enjoy!
