Viral video of woman making ‘phuchka chop’ irks people
A video of a woman making ‘phuchka chop’ was posted on Instagram. Would you ever try this dish?
Phuchka is not just a dish but an emotion. Filled with spicy aloo and dipped in tamarind water, it is a dish that is loved by many. Probably that is the reason, the videos that show people trying out fusion dishes of phuchka are not always well-received. Just like this video that shows a woman making fritters using phuchka.

Content creator Subhomoy posted the video on Instagram. “Introducing Phuchka’r chop! #viral food. One of the most unique dishes I’ve ever tried. I would recommend everyone to try this and rest will be history,” he wrote as he shared the video.
The video opens to show a woman making filling for phuchka using aloo and tamarind. She then puts the mixture in a phuchka and coats it with batter to deep fry it. Finally, she garnishes it with masala and gives it to a customer.
