Chicken Ghugni recipe:

Mangsher Ghugni or chicken Ghugni is the non-vegetarian version of popular Kolkata Street food Ghugni. It is made with Yellow peas,Chicken and a combination of different spices. It goes really well with puri or luchi. You can also serve this curry with plain rice or any type of paratha you prefer.💚💚💚
