In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of AP flour/maida, 1/3 cup semolina, and ½ tsp of salt.

Add 2 tbsp of cooking oil to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Gradually add water, a little at a time, to knead a tight and smooth dough. This may take 4-5 minutes.

Once the dough is ready, divide it into 3 parts.

Lightly oil a rolling board, then roll out the dough as thin as possible. Overlap one end to another and roll it again. It should be thin but doesn’t need to be super thin.

Using a small cutter or the cap from a small bottle, cut out the fuchka pieces.

Heat oil in a pan until very hot. This high temperature is crucial for the fuchkas to puff up.

Add the fuchka shells to the hot oil. Once they puff up, lower the heat to medium and keep stirring until they are golden brown.

Remove the fuchkas from the oil and let them cool.

Serve with your favorite toppings and tamarind water.
