Presenting a popular and an adorable savoury of any Bengali home called GHUGNI.
GHUGNI is a preparation out of dried white / yellow peas ( matar ) which is the base ingredient along with few basic condiments but as I could grab fresh green peas as we are in the mid of winter and available in abundance, so prepared Ghugni with green peas 😊.

It is the most liked snack or side dish in any Bengali household which actually needs no introduction.
