Ragda Patties

It was raining the other day and was a perfect day to have some chaat. So I decided to make Ragda Patties. However, I had been really busy with work and could not post it next day ... finally got some time to put everything together ...and here you go...

   

Ingredients:

Patties:

• 2 Cups Potatoes, Boiled and Mashed
• 4-5 green chillies, Finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Coriander
• Bread Crumbs for dusting
• pinch of salt

Ragda:

• 1 Cup, White Peas

Extras (as needed):

• Finely chopped coriander 
• coriander chutney

Method:

Ragda:

• Wash and soak the white peas overnight in water.
• The peas are now double in  size with a nice yellowish color. Drain the water and wash the peas.
• In a pressure cooker add the peas, turmeric powder, salt, asafoetida and water to cook the peas.
• Take couple of whistles till the peas are cooked.
• Once the cooker cools down open the lid. Add water to thicken the ragda or evaporate water if the ragda is too watery.
• Add red chilli powder and mix well.

 Patties:

• Mix all the ingredients ( mentioned in the Patties) together except for the bread crumbs.
• Make medium sized round balls. Flatten them into round pattie. Dust off with bread crumbs and keep aside.
• Heat oil in a pan. Fry the pattie till its cooked and golden brown on both sides. Keep aside.

Making the Ragda Patties:

• Take 2 patties in a dish. Pour some hot ragda on top.
• Add some green chutney and tamarind chutney on top of this.
• Also, add the finely chopped onion, tomatoes and coriander. Top it up with fine sev.
• Ragda Patties is now ready to serve.
