Fuchka is an emotion for Bengalis and everyone living in West Bengal. Over the years, there have been quite some new introductions such as doi fuchka and chutney fuchka, and truth to be told, we love gorging on all these. Just like our biryani, mutton kosha, and rosogolla, we do not like experiments on our favourite fuchka as well. And a recent viral video of a Kolkata street vendor serving some unique yet weird fuchkas is coming as a shock to all the foodies of Kolkata.
