Odisha bara ghuguni recipe is a very popular delicacy of Odisha. People love this in their breakfast and snack. A must-try combo recipe for those who have not tried it yet. Though bara and ghuguni/ghugni can be eaten separately. But the combination is just utterly delectable.

Bara is same as bada or medu bara prepared with black gram or urad dal. But it tastes slightly different. These baras are crispy from outside and spongy within and are full of onions and other spices. Which makes these the most appetizing.

In Odisha, you will find bara ghuguni almost everywhere. Starting from the roadside thela walas or vendors to big restaurants. The crispy and spicy bara along with the lip-smacking ghuguni is just enough to salivate your taste buds.

Bara Preparation Steps

  • Repeat the same with the remaining batter.

Making Ghugni

  • Soak the dried yellow peas overnight or 6-7 hours in enough water.
