About Ghoogni

Ghoogni is a flavorful, protein-rich dish originating from Bengali cuisine, widely enjoyed as a snack or side dish. Made primarily from dried yellow peas or white peas, it is seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, often enhanced with ginger, garlic, and fresh coriander. This hearty dish is typically cooked with minimal oil and may include diced tomatoes, green chilies, and onions for added texture and nutrition. Ghoogni is a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, making it a healthy option that supports digestion and overall well-being. However, its healthiness can vary based on preparation methods, as excessive oil or toppings like fried snacks may increase the calorie and fat content. Enjoyed with puffed rice or bread, Ghoogni is a wholesome yet indulgent addition to a balanced diet.
