Traditionally they use dried yellow peas which is called as vatana for this recipe. But I used dried green peas, since I couldn't get my hands on that. Still it turned out great. You can use any of these to make this. So go ahead and try this soon, because it was delicious.
Ingredients
- Dried white peas : This is the main ingredient used for making ragda. Traditionally, white peas are used, but green peas can be used too. They cook soft, slightly mushy and create the cream base.
- Onion & Tomato : Onion and tomatoes form the base of the gravy. With its sweet, tangy taste it balances the spices and overall flavour.
- Green chilli : Green chilli added for its heat. You can adjust the quantity to make the curry mild or spicy.
- Ginger garlic paste : Ginger garlic paste adds a strong aroma to the gravy base and enhances the flavour of ragda. It also aids in digestion.
- Spice powder : Turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder are used. These spices create a flavourful and well balanced gravy.
- Chaat masala powder : Chaat masala powder gives the classic street style flavour to the dish.
- Cumin seeds : Cumin seeds are used for tempering.
- Oil : Oil is used for cooking and it also brings out the flavour of spices. Any cooking oil can be used.
- Coriander leaves : Coriander leaves are used for garnishing and it adds fresh taste.
- Aloo tikki : Aloo tikki are crispy potato patties. You can use either homemade or store bought patties of your choice.
- Tamarind chutney and Green chutney : I have used homemade chutneys to add a mix of sweet, tangy and spicy flavours to the chaat. It gives the classic street style taste.
- Onions & tomatoes : Onion and tomatoes are added on top for crunch and it gives a burst of flavour in every bite.
- Optional : You can top the ragda pattice with sev, papad or pomegranate for extra crunch.

Expert Tips
Soaking : Soak the dried peas overnight or for at least 8 hours. This ensures faster cooking and it turns soft and creamy.
Optional : You can slightly mash some of the cooked peas to make the gravy thick and richer.
Time saving : You can prepare the ragda and aloo patties in advance and store them separately for convenience. This makes assembling the dish quick and easy.
Flavour twist : For added flavour, top the ragda pattice with curd or pomegranate seeds for tangy and sweet crunch. You can also squeeze a lemon juice or sprinkle some chaat masala on top for extra zing flavour.
Storage : Don't store the assembled ragda pattice, as it may turn soggy. Instead, store the ragda, aloo patties and chutneys separately in an airtight container. Reheat them gently and assemble just before serving for best taste.
Serving : Ragda pattice tastes best when served warm. Top it with chopped onions, fresh coriander, Green Chutney, Tamarind Chutney and Dry Garlic Chutney. And you will need Aloo Tikki for serving along with this and sev for the classic street style flavour and crunch.
