Often there is a debate if Ghugni is a Street Food or Ghugni Chaat? Well, it really doesn’t matter because this Ghugni is just too tasty. I would like to serve Bengali style Ghugni - with chopped onion, green chillies and a squeeze of lemon along with fresh cilantro.
MY HOUSE HOULD STORY BEFORE MAKING GHUGNI
Before every visit to the Indian Grocer, I make a humble attempt to quickly glance through my stock of provisions, particular lentils. I found a packet of dried green peas while rummaging, sneaking from the transparent box, stacked over the kitchen shelf. I often make Vegan Sundal with these green peas during Navrathri festival. But this time I couldn’t hold myself that long .. instead I decided to cook them up in to a Green peas curry ..
THE FOOD BLOGGER IN ME
Gorgeous day light was falling on the lentils and I could not resist shooting these resplendent Dried Green Peas. I thoroughly enjoyed the experiment and the learnings that went in to this, that I couldn’t resist sharing with all my virtual friends on social media. After all the brain storming on what to and how not to transform these drop dead peas, I finally decided to make Bengali style Ghugni. Thanks to my dear friend Chandrima for this recipe.
