Simmer the Ghuguni Curry
Assemble and Serve the Chaat
Omit the hard-boiled eggs to make this dish completely vegan. You can add boiled and cubed potatoes or fried paneer as a substitute.
Increase the number of green chilies and add a pinch more of red chili powder. You can also add a spicy green chutney (hari chutney) during assembly.
Add one medium-sized potato, peeled and cubed, to the pressure cooker along with the peas for a heartier version of ghuguni.
While yellow peas are traditional, you can also make this recipe with dried white peas (vatana) or even chickpeas for a different texture and flavor.
Combining plant-based protein from yellow peas and high-quality protein from eggs, this dish supports muscle maintenance, repair, and overall body function.
The yellow peas are rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness, helps stabilize blood sugar levels, and supports gut health.
The complex carbohydrates in the peas provide a slow and steady release of energy, making this a satisfying and energizing meal that keeps you full for longer.
This dish is a good source of important minerals like iron, which is vital for blood health, and magnesium and potassium, which are crucial for nerve function and heart health.

The best substitute is dried white peas (safed vatana). You can also use chickpeas (chole), although this will result in a dish closer to Chole Chaat, with a different taste and texture.
Store the ghuguni curry (without any toppings) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it thoroughly on the stovetop or in the microwave before assembling the chaat with fresh toppings.
