Cooking Style

Fuchka consists of hollow, crispy, round puris (hollow fried crispy balls) filled with a spicy and tangy mixture of tamarind water, flavored water, chickpeas, potatoes, onions, and a variety of spices. The puris are usually made from semolina or wheat flour and are deep-fried until they puff up and become crispy. The spicy and tangy water is a crucial element of fuchka and is made from tamarind pulp, spices like cumin, coriander, chili powder, and sometimes mint or cilantro. The filling typically includes boiled and spiced chickpeas, boiled potatoes, and sometimes chopped onions.
