Ghugni with Dhuska - Bihari Cuisine


Today we are travelling to Bihar,its one of the state situated in Eastern part of India.Bihari cuisine is predominantly vegetarian and they use mustard oil and panchporan spices.The very famous dishes in Bihar are sattu ki paratha where as paratha is stuffed with sattu(fried chikpea flour),chokka and bihari kebabs.
Coming to the recipe I bookmarked this one from Vaishali's blog.Ghugni is a curry made with chickpeas and dhuska,a kind of deep fried pancake is served along with ghugni.
Dhuska is a deep fried pancake which resembles vella paniyaram in taste,made in Tamilnadu.But here instead of deep fry,I used a small omelette pan and shallow fried .Lets move on to the recipe...........

My mom made a different kind of Dhuska where the Chana Dal quantity is half the quantity of rice and she uses various other ingredients too. Her cooking is just out of the world but your version also looks yummy. I will definitely try as this is less oily than the traditional Bihari Dhuska. Thanks
