About Doi fuchka

Doi Fuchka, a beloved street food from Bengali cuisine, is a flavorful and tangy dish often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. It consists of crispy hollow puris filled with seasoned mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and a mixture of spices. These puris are then topped with yogurt (doi), tamarind chutney, and sometimes garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro and a sprinkle of chili powder. The yogurt adds creaminess and probiotics, promoting gut health, while the chickpeas provide a source of plant-based protein and fiber. However, Doi Fuchka can be high in sodium due to the chutney and spice mixtures, and the puris are often fried, which increases calorie and fat content. Enjoying this dish in moderation allows you to relish its delightful blend of textures and flavors while maintaining a balanced diet.
