The key to making tasty pav ragda at home are
- Use ladi pav for this recipe, but you can use leftover bread slices instead of it.
- The consistency of ragda should be slightly liquid, so it will easily absorb into the bread.
- Tamarind chutney, green chutney, and garlic chutney taste great for preparing pav ragda or other chaats. These chutneys can be easily stored and preserved in a jar and can be used whenever required.
- Sev and Masala peanuts give a crunchy taste to the dish, you can use fried chana dal or boondi instead of masala sing.
- Lastly, once the pav ragda is made, it has to be served immediately.
