Ghoti gorom

Normally, I try to keep nostalgia in bay but in a rainy day when I'm alone in home, memories come back with a vengeance. Ghoti gorom is nothing but chanachur mixed with some masala but it used to be one of my favorite childhood treats. The seller would put the chanachur in a heated bowl, mix with some spices, minced onion, green chili and cilantro and hand it to us in a cone made of paper. Sheer heaven in a cone :)
So today when I was feeling a little blue, I decided to make ghotigorom and some Darjeeling tea and indulge myself with a good book.

Ingredients:
Chanachur
Roasted cumin and red chili powder
Amchoor Powder
Black Salt Powder
Jal Jeera Powder
Lime Juice few drops
Mustard oil
Minced ginger
Minced onion
Minced green chili
Finely chopped cilantro (I did not have any)

Method:
Heat pan. Put in the mustard oil. Fry ginger in it. Put in the chanachur and all the spices. Fry for a minute. Add lime juice. Fry again for few seconds. Turn off heat. Mix in the onion, green chili and cilantro. Serve right away.
