Ghugni (link in bio) is an East Indian lentil based snack cooked with dried white peas or Kabuli Matar. It's a mild spice based lentil soup which is consumed with chopped onions and lemon juice just like a snack. As white peas is a high energy food, many prefer the gravy as dry and thick. But for easy digestion, the gravy should be light by using chopped veggies, not in paste form. It keeps the soup lighter. Ghugni is a compulsive snack even in Bengal villages. Bengali cuisine can best be described as less is more. It's simple and minimalistic just like French cuisine. Regarding Ghugni, peas originated from India and Afghanistan which was once a part of India was the birth place of white peas. White peas is a warm food great for winter. Try the recipe. It's simple but flavorsome. #tiqd #theindianquest #ghugni #bengalisnack #kabulimatar #whitepeas #bengalicuisine #foodie #culinary #india #cooking #history #lifestyle #culture #society #vegan #spicy #lessismore
