Ghugni- East India Snack

Last Updated on

On the last day of this
North East cuisine, I choose very popular snack i.e. Ghugni is an evening
street snack in Eastern India especially in Bengal, Assam, Bihar, and Orissa.
For this recipe, soak dried yellow peas or green peas overnight and cook into
gravy with Bengali spices and serve with kurmura or onion bhajiya. Generally in
our North India (Delhi) side, this snack is served with kulcha’s, and garnish
with chopped tomatoes, onions and green chili. It’s all time fav of mine.
