Why Is Potato The Main Ingredient Of Puchka Preparation?

In any dish that we prepare, there is always one main or star ingredient. This main ingredient refers to something that enters as an element into the mixture without which the dish always remains incomplete. Here, we refer to Puchka or Phuchka in Kolkata. Traditionally, we are aware that Puchka has three main ingredients- Puchka, potato mixture and tamarind water. By combining these three ingredients, we get the heavenly taste. On public demand and variant tastes, Puchka is now available in different varieties. The ingredients have changed partially or fully and a lot of new ingredients have been added.


Puchkalicious is one such example of the different varieties of Puchka available in Kolkata. Many new additions are done in the traditional list of puchka varieties such as Cheese Puchka, Kurkure Puchka, Corn Mayo Puchka, Pan Puchka, Tutti fruity Puchka and so on. Classic Puchka, Dahi Puchka and Scrambled Puchka (Churmur) always remain everyone’s favourite as they are the traditional varieties of Puchka and its preparation without the chatpata potato mixture is impossible. The tangy and spicy potato filling is an essential component to make any puchka a hit one. Therefore, it will not be wrong to say that Potato is undoubtedly one of the most important ingredients of Puchka. 

No matter the number of additions in the Puchka menu but the traditional variety of Puchka is always in demand and remains everyone’s favourite. Therefore, potato is a must-have ingredient while preparing Puchka. Potato is the king of vegetables as we all know. It goes along very well in almost all the dish that we prepare. It is, in fact, the star item of any chat item of India. You name the chat items and it has potato in it, papdi chat, tikia chola, muri masala, bhel puri, paw bhaji, aloo chat, samosa, and of course puchka. It is so because it simply enhances the taste of any dish and goes along with the spicy, sweet and tangy combination altogether.
