Well i tried this bong recipe with a lil garlicky and peanut twist and it turned out to be awesome. Satisfied my midnight snack fetish which usually was curbed with some cheesy noodles (check out 'Midnite Ramen') but this was different and a welcome change.

Ingredients:
1 cup green peas
1 medium sized potato, diced
7-8 cloves of garlic, chopped
7-8 peanuts
Salt
Black pepper powder
1 tablespoon refined oil
Water to boil, 3/4th of a cup

Semi boil the potato pieces and peas with a little water and salt. Heat the oil in a pan and add the peanuts first. After a minute when the peanuts are just about to turn golden add the chopped garlic. When you start getting the aroma of fried garlic, add the semi-boiled potato pieces and fry for about 3-4 minutes. Then add the peas along with the water, pepper powder, salt if necessary and fry till the water evaporates.
Once done you'll get something like this :)

The original Bengali stuff which mom makes doesn't have garlic and peanuts in it. For a different flavor try using jeera instead of garlic. Also, this tastes better with a lot of peas and with spring garlic so a must try for winters!
