Banglay, pati chola siddho. :P
My mom used to say germinating Bengal gram is very nutritious and tried her best to make us gulp some down with a bit of jaggery every morning. I loved it in a different avatar though. Boiled, non-germinating ones with a dash of lime juice, black salt and minced onions -as an evening snack. Dry-roasted peanuts (or Planters Heat peanuts), cilantro and green chilies make a decent entourage. Topped with a fire-roasted crumbled papad.
Bengali Ghugni (oil-free recipe)
This is so easy to make and healthy. Soak yellow vatana in water overnight. In a pressure cooker, add minced onions, matchstick ginger, minced garlic, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, dry roasted & ground cumin and coriander seeds, black salt, dry mango powder (amchur) turmeric,(I add aloo bhaji masala too). Cook and serves with pico de gallo or khacumber

It is as simple as that, but always a hit with the guests. Goes well with Indian puffed bread or puri. (luchi in Bengali). I like it with fish kachori too.

You can boil chickpeas and potatoes in pressure cooker (like ghugni recipe) and serve it with diced onions, cucumber, 1 tsp yogurt , chaat masala and nimboo natkhat or other spicy sev.
