BREAKING: FIPS Culinary Engineers Generate KA-CHORI Description

PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn (FIPSNN) - For years, 7th ave's Bombay Grill has been the South Slope's undisputed champion of Indian cuisine; but local lore doesn't stop with tales of the restaurant's fare - for many, Bombay Grill is best known as the home of Brooklyn's most renowned culinary conundrum.
The restaurant's infamous puzzle, commonly known to local culinary engineers as The Bombay Grill Problem, revolves around one of the tastiest dishes on the menu: an appetizer called "KA-CHORI," which utterly defies description. It is SO hard to describe in fact, that the restaurant chose to omit KA-CHORI's description on the restaurant's menu, delivery menu, and menupages entry. In its place, Bombay Grill merely provides the following confession beneath the dish's title:
"Too difficult to put into words, but recommended."
This problem has gone unsolved since Bombay Grill first began operations 10 years ago - went unsolved that is, until this Sunday evening.
Working with specialized dissection equipment in culinary logging facilities, FIPS engineers de-constructed the ingredients of KA-CHORI, recording each component as it was encountered. When the process was done, the engineers were left with a catalog of the food types which form the building blocks of KA-CHORI.
FIPS is proud to share with you, for the very first time, the full KA-CHORI genome:
- Potatoes
- Samosa-like fried substance (inner/outer)
- Chickpeas
- Raita Yogurt
Here is a diagram of KA-CHORI which highlights each ingredient isolated during the experiment:
Finally, reverse engineering the description from the list of ingredients, FIPS engineers were able to generate the following text; it will be offered to Bombay Grill pro-bono as a token of appreciation for the restaurant's many years of neighborhood service:
KA-CHORI: Sliced Samosas Skins, topped with whole chickpeas and Raita.

The brackets in the main image fucking rule, dude. You fucking nailed that shit, son.
So this is just a samosa and channa chaat (and a rather sad looking one at that)
Leave it to Park Slope numbskulls to get all excited about chaat...
