Ghuguni/ White chana in gravey

If you go on Bhubaneshwar- Puri highway, you have to try the small eatery places which serves typical Oriya food. One such dish we tried there was Ghuguni with puri for breakfast. Ghuguni is a delightful curry which yiu can eat with puri, paratha, idli, dosa; basically everything.

Today we had it for breakfast with paratha. So immediately I planned on sharing the receipe

• Boil one cup of white chana/peas with 1 tsp turmeric powder and salt to taste. If you like potato, then you can boil 1 big size potato with chana. You need to cook for atleast 3-4 whistles if using pressure cooker.
