Available on Quick Commerce platforms across India, the new kits help consumers bring home restaurant style loaded nachos & street style bhel with a Desi-Chinese twist.

National, November 2, 2026: As consumers increasingly seek more engaging and convenient snacking experiences, PepsiCo India is extending two of its iconic brands into new ready-to-eat formats with the launch of Doritos Loaded Nachos Kit and Kurkure Mast Bhel Kit Chinese Style. The easy-to-assemble offerings bring restaurant-style loaded nachos and a Desi-Chinese twist on bhel into the home, offering consumers an easy way to enjoy snack favourites without preparing them from scratch.

Rooted in PepsiCo India's consumer-centric approach to innovation, the launches mark an expansion beyond conventional, individual snacking occasions into more interactive, shared experiences at home, offering consumers more snacking choices for every occasion. While Doritos brings together its signature crunch with three accompaniments for a restaurant-style loaded nachos experience, Kurkure gives the much-loved bhel a Desi-Chinese twist, combining the familiar crunch of Kurkure Shots and Jowar Crisps with bold Schezwan and Manchurian sauces.
