Dhuska or Dhooska or Dushka is a popular deep fried street food snack eaten all over the state of Jharkhand. It is a savory dish served with any sauce or chutney or Aaloo ki sabzi or Potatoes curry. When you are at home on the weekends and prefer to eat something savory for snacks, I would suggest to try out Dhuska.
