Bhatt Ka Pepper Fry is a magnifique and intensely flavorful dish from the mountain regions, where black soybeans (Bhatt) are stir-fried with a bold amount of crushed black pepper. I use soaked and boiled soybeans, tossed in a magnifique tempering of mountain ghee, curry leaves, and plenty of garlic. This dish is a symbol of rustic comfort, relying on the natural heat of the pepper to provide warmth during cold mountain winters. The taste is remarkably balanced—earthy, savory, and carrying a magnificent sharp fragrance from the ghee. It is an honest and high-quality representation of the 'Pahadi' food culture that values simple ingredients. I love serving this warm as a premium appetizer or side dish.
