The second popular street food after Dahivada-aloodum is "Ghuguni" in Odisha. And it is sold in a form of chaat in most of the places, adding crunchy papad, onion, curd ,sweet tamarind chutney etc. And these chaat stalls are very eye catching as they decorate the boiled peas on the large skillet with colorful vegetables like carrot, beet, tomato.

It is also relished as a side-dish with poori, vada, idli here at the morning breakfast stalls.
