Start off with a puffed ball of semolina dough that has been fried to crispy perfection. Poke a little hole on one end to make room for a spoonful of filling made from potatoes, onion, and masala spices. Then, pour in some sauce made from tamarind paste and lemon juice. Lastly, enjoy it altogether in one perfect bite!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7365\/14190649531_40abb457db_q.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"211\" height=\"240\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 211px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 211\/240;\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>My husband Cliff, myself, and his cousin enjoying a fresh pushka!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2937\/14170795636_53f831aa91_q.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"211\" height=\"240\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 211px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 211\/240;\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>It&#8217;s the perfect combination of sweet, savory, spicy, and tangy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for Part 3!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest blogger and KCFS intern Jenn continues her travel recap to India with Part 2! &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Food is everywhere in India &#8211; from vendors selling fresh produce on the street to food stalls lining the sidewalks for those looking for a quick snack.
