Phuchka is one of the most popular street foods of Kolkata and other parts of Eastern India. Loved for its flavours and textures, phuchka is a beloved snack enjoyed by many for its irresistible taste and refreshing qualities. Another most eaten street food is alu chop that's made with boiled, mashed potatoes mixed with spices. They are shaped into patties and coated in a besan batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.
Now what happens when these come together? Yes, an amalgamation of the 2 most popular street foods has happened and the internet can’t keep calm. We are talking of Kolkata’s viral phuchka chop you must try at this shop located in Salt Lake.
The video shared by a Kolkata food blogger, Subinoy Baidya (foodie.da_calcutta) has taken over social media and everyone seems to be loving it.
The video shows a local woman making a phuchka by simply putting aloo and chana mixture into golgappas. Then she covers the phuchkas with besan or gramflour batter and deep fries them to make their 'chop'.
With the look and reaction of the blogger who tries it later, it seems they are super yummy. If you too want to try them the next time you are in Kolkata, here's the address for the shop.
