What are the clues that don't match?
There is a variation of the churro called porras but that does not match your letters either.

Hi Danny
It certainly seems that CHURRO is correct - I begin to wonder whether there is a printing fault !!
Maybe someone who does this crossword can put some light on it !!
Thanks for you help

Alan
Hope you get it sorted Alan.
could it be Suhl instead of Ruhr .I haven't got my express yet
ignore that sorry
What's the clue giving you fakir?
At a guess (because I've not seen the clue), what you've got as 'fakir' might be 'sadhu'. That would fix your problem with 'churro'.
Question Author
My Fault !!
the answer to 20a was SADHU not fakir!!

Sorry everybody
My psychic powers are clearly improving ;-)
