 Fuska is a popular street food in Bangladesh, especially during the evening hours. It’s a delightful and flavorful treat that combines crispy shells with a burst of tangy and spicy flavors. Here’s what you need to know about this beloved snack:

**What is Fuska?

Fuska consists of small, hollow, crispy shells made from semolina or wheat flour.

# These shells are filled with a mixture of spiced mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and sometimes boiled eggs.

# The real magic lies in the accompanying special tamarind juice – a sweet and tangy concoction that elevates the flavor of each bite.

**How to Enjoy Fuska:

# Squeeze the tamarind juice: Before taking a bite, gently squeeze some of the tamarind juice into the hollow shell. This adds a burst of flavor.

# Add fried chili powder: For those who love a bit of heat, sprinkle some fried chili powder on top.

# Pop it in your mouth: The combination of textures and flavors – crispy shell, creamy filling, and tangy juice – is simply irresistible.

# You’ll find Fuska being sold by street vendors across Bangladesh, especially near busy markets, parks, and college campuses.
