Ghugni is a chickpea preparation whose texture can move from nearly dry to generously coated in gravy. Black gram or chickpeas are cooked with aromatics and spices, often through a patient stage of bhunjana that develops the base.
It may be paired with muri, chura or bread, making it breakfast, snack or part of a fuller meal depending on place and occasion.
