Last updated: October 14th, 2022

Ghoogni | Ghugni is a chatpata bengali dish that’s quite popular as a street food. In evenings, maa serves Ghoogni | Ghugni with a slice of bread at home. Even in some parts of West bengal Ghoogni | Ghugni is best enjoyed with muri ( puffed rice ).

The Ghoogni | Ghugni recipe that I am going to share here is especially with minimal spices yet it gives a wonderful chatpata flavor to satisfy your small hunger pangs. I have used no extra chat masala out here.
