Ghugni Chaat (Kolkata Street Food)
#LKM - GHUGNI CHAAT is a very popular Kolkata street food. Ghugni typically refers to Dried Peas Curry, which is a very common weekend breakfast menu in most Bengali homes. It is served with hot luchi / poori, especially during weekends. So you can turn any leftover ghugni into this mouth watering chaat, complete with all the toppings, that includes a drizzle of some kasundi too. They are yummy and extremely tongue tingling.
