- 3 tablespoons Oil (for shallow frying)
- 1 Onion (medium sized)
- 1 Tomato (small sized)
- 5 tablespoons Plain Crunchy Noodles (Sev)
- 10 tablespoons Tamarind Sweet Chutney (I have used sweet chutney which I already had, you can also use readymade tamarind sweet chutney)
- 1 to 2 tablespoon Mint Coriander Green Chutney (You can grind few mint leaves, corainder, 1 green chilli, salt to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Coriander (finely chopped)
- 1/4 tablespoon Salt
- 1/4 tablespoon Cumin Powder
- 1/4 tablespoon Coriander Powder
- 1/4 tablespoon Chaat Masala (or Panipuri Masala)
- 1/8 tablespoon Garam Masala
- 1/8 tablespoon Red Chilli Powder
Soak white peas (or vatana) overnight in water.
Rinse potatoes and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles until they are smooth. When potatoes are slightly warm peel off and mash.
Rinse onion, tomato, coriander, green chilli and finely chop them as shown in ingredients image. Also, grate ginger.
Rinse peas with fresh water and transfer to pressure cooker.
Add salt, turmeric powder and enough water (about 350 ml). Pressure cook on high flame for 7 to 8 whistles for peas to turn soft and quite thick and allow cooker to cool down.
While ragda is being cooked, let's proceed to prepare patties. Time saving hack.Rinse poha with water 2 to 3 times until water is clear.
Now transfer mashed potatoes, poha, besan, finely chopped green chilies, grated ginger and salt.
Mix all ingredients well and form thick mixture.
Take a portion of dough for a pattie and shape into flattened tikki.
Make all tikkis in similar way.
Heat non-stick pan and add 2 tablespoon of oil. Place all patties on the pan and shallow fry on a medium flame.
After 7 to 8 minutes check if pattie is crisp by turning side. Then turn all patties with the help of knife or spatula and drizzle another tablespoon of oil.
Aaloo patties are nice crisp on both the sides. So it's time to prepare for serving these patties.
Once pressure cooker is settled down, Ragda or white peas plain gravy is ready.
If Ragda or watana gravy is thick then add some water to adjust ragda for a pouring consitency. Make sure to use hot ragda for serving. Serving hot ragda with hot pattice makes this Ragda Pattice recipe deliciously nice.Wash few mint leaves, little coriander and 1 green chilli. Transfer to grinder jar, add just little water and salt. Grind for few ( 1 to 2) minutes until chutney is ready.
It's difficult to make just one or two tablespoons of chutney as chutney won't be smooth if you make in small quantities. So you can prepare little more and refrigerate the chutney in ice trays, allow to set and these chutney cubes can be used later.
Mix all dry spices - coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, panipuri masala and salt.
This masala mix enhances the taste of ragda patties. So this can't be optional.
Now take tikkis or patties to the plate. Nice crisp golden colour aaloo (potato) pattice are looking pretty 😍. You can have them as it is but wait until next steps to enjoy Ragda Patties or Ragda Pattice.
