It's a Hindi word popularized by Jamie Oliver. It literally means 'cooked', but when used in slang, it gives emphasis. And the British twat pronounces it wrong - you say 'PUK-kah', not 'pukka'.
It can mean everything is okay, finished, complete.
Jim, this is the pukka weed my friend. Where did you find it?
He forgot the ketchup? This MacDo isn't pukka!

Bungalows - the term is derived from bangalo, meaning literally "of Bengal" - had long been commonplace in India: the first reference dates from 1676 when the East India Company's agent in Madras referred to "bangales or hovels built for English staff". Initially, the definition of the word was a lightly built house with a thatched roof; a masonry house, by contrast, was called a "pukka" house. It wasn't until well into the 19th century that "bungalow" became synonymous with a single-storey dwelling.
