Kala chana ghughni with poori or parantha reminds me of the frequent Sunday brunch during our childhood days . Easy to prepare and good to taste this simple dish of black chickpeas tastes good with poori ,and the side dish are curd and pickle.I still remember how eagerly we used to wait for this particular breakfast.

Ghugni looks nice..heard the name for the first time. We also make similar dish called "chan sabzi". It is esp served with sweet halwa or sweet pova on festivals.

Our ghugni (Bengali) is very different ... is made from dried peas and has gravy. I like this dry version of kala chana. :-)

When i was younger we only had black channa, it is in my teenage years we started using the white one.
