Ghugni (Eastern & North Indian Street Food)

A beloved street food, particularly in Bengal, Ghugni is a spicy curry made from yellow or white dried peas. It is often served as a satisfying snack, topped with a medley of fresh ingredients.

• What makes it special: The curry is typically garnished with chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, tamarind chutney, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy, spicy, and crunchy experience.
• Best served as: A standalone snack or side dish, especially popular with Bengali fried bread (luchi).

Bengali Motor Dal (Eastern Indian)

This comforting and simple Bengali dal is a homestyle favourite. It’s often flavoured with panch phoron (a Bengali five-spice mix) and green chilies.

• What makes it special: The dal has a simple, clean taste, and a generous final tempering of mustard oil adds a distinct flavour. A version with raw mango, called Kacha Aam diye Motor Dal, is a popular summer dish, balancing the mango’s tang with sweetness.
• Best served with: Steamed rice and a wedge of lime.

Matar Dal Bhate (Bengali)

A rustic and wholesome dish, Matar Dal Bhate is made by cooking a ball of ground matar dal with rice. The cooked dal is then mashed with mustard oil, chopped onions, green chilies, and salt.

• What makes it special: The simplicity of the ingredients allows the pure, earthy flavour of the matar dal to shine. The mashing process gives it a unique, rustic texture.
• Best served with: Plain steamed rice for a comforting, nutritious meal.

Matar Dal Fritters (Bora) (Eastern Indian)

These are crispy and delicious fritters made from a spiced paste of soaked matar dal. The batter can be seasoned with green chilies, ginger, and nigella seeds before being deep-fried to a golden-brown crisp.

• What makes it special: The firm texture of the dal allows the fritters to be crispy on the outside and wonderfully savory inside.
• Best served with: These are a fantastic rainy-day snack, often served with chutney or a cup of hot tea.

Matar Dal with Radish (Mulo Diye Motor Dal) (Bengali)

A hearty winter delicacy, this dal combines the nutty flavour of matar dal with the peppery bite of radish (mulo). It is cooked with simple spices and tempered with mustard oil.

• What makes it special: The addition of seasonal vegetables like radish adds a unique flavor dimension and makes it a more substantial dish.
• Best served with: Hot rice, especially during the cold winter months.

Matar Dal Bori (Bengali)

Bori are sun-dried lentil dumplings that are a staple in Bengali cuisine. When added to curries, especially vegetable-based ones, they add a chewy texture and absorb the flavours of the spices.

• What makes it special: Motor dal boriadd a protein-rich, meaty texture to dishes. They are used in preparations like Posto (poppy seed curry) and various vegetable stir-fries.
• Best served in: Added to vegetable curries like aloo bori posto(potato and bori with poppy seed paste) or macher jhol (fish curry).
