Ragda patties are the most popular street food in India. It is made of spicy ragda served with chatpata patties and topped with tangy chaat chutneys, sev, onion and tomatoes. It tastes sweet, sour and spicy and loves by all kinds of age groups. Ragda is a gravy base and can be used for different types of chaat recipes including ragda pani puri, samosa chaat and many more. I also share different types of chaat chutney recipes.Do try this!
ย The key to making tasty ragda patties at home are
- Firstly, the white peas have to be soaked overnight for a minimum of 5 plus hours in slightly hot water. You can use dry green peas or fresh green peas instead of it.
- The consistency of ragda should be slightly liquid, so it will easily spread on patties.
- Patties or aloo tikki need to be crispy from the out and soft from the inside. I add poha to give perfect binding to tikki, you can add bread crumbs or cornflour instead of it.
- I made green chutney and khatti-meethi chutney for ragda patties. these chutneys can be easily stored and preserved in a jar and can be used whenever required.
- Lastly, ragda pattice recipe tastes great when served hot.
