Ingredients for Fuchka Filling: 3 medium-sized boiled potatoes 1 cup boiled chickpeas 1 tbsp chaat masala

How to Make the Ideal Fuchka Shell: The ingredients are combined: Semolina, wheat flour, baking soda, and salt should all be combined in a mixing bowl to start. Form a firm dough by gradually adding water. Give it a damp cloth to cover and give it 20 to 30 minutes to rest.

After resting, divide the dough into small balls and roll them out. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin, round sheet. To keep the sheets from drying out, keep them covered with a cloth.

To fry the shells, warm up some oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot, carefully lower the rolled dough sheets into it. In a matter of seconds, they will puff up and turn golden brown. Eliminate and drain extra oil.

Making the Potato-Chickpea Mash for the Fuchka Filling: Mash the cooked potatoes and combine them with the cooked chickpeas, salt, chaat masala, and red chili powder. The center of your fuchka filling is made up of this.
