According to Nussrat, puchkas are definitely the best of Kolkata street food. The typical flavor of Kolkata puchkas is what makes them different from gol gappa or pani puri. She’s also a big fan of churmur. A mix of crushed puchka, mixed with mashed potatoes, onions, spices, and of course tetul gola – is just heavenly. She’s a fitness freak and one look at her Instagram timeline tells it all. Still, Nussrat can’t live without tasting the spicy jhaal muri or ghugni.

Boiled potatoes are tossed with tamarind pulp, onions, tomatoes, chilies, chickpeas, and a magical combination of masalas to create one of the best street foods you would find in the City of Joy.
