This kneading is very important for making fuchka, you must see that the dough you prepared has a bit of elasticity and is neither too hard nor too soft.
Now cut the kneaded dough into small pieces and roll it into a round shape, now wet cotton cloth and place it over the dough balls.
Now pour refined oil into a pan and When the oil is fuming hot, fry the dough balls (fuchkas).
If you reduce the flame of the gas and fry it, the puffed balls will be more crunchy and perfect in shape.

Preparation of the filling

Now in another bowl take 4 potatoes boiled and unpeeled and add 4 big spoons of boiled chickpeas.
Now add 3 spoons whole grams (chhola) 2 big spoons of tamarind pulp, 3 big spoons of chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies as per taste, salt as much needed.
Add 3 teaspoons of roasted cumin powder.
Mix 2 teaspoons of chaat masala with boiled potatoes and knead it well by hand.
Don’t make it too mushy.
Sprinkle a little bit of rock salt or beet salt from the top to adjust the taste.

Preparation of tamarind water

Now it’s time to prepare the imli water/ tok jol or tamarind water.
