For Ragda (White Peas Curry)
- ¾ cup Dried white peas
- ¼ tsp Turmeric powder
- ½ tsp Red chili powder
- ½ tsp Garam masala
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2.5 cups of water plus more for soaking
- ¼ cup Cilantro — for garnish
Assembling Ragda Pattice. Per serving 1 plate:
- 2 Aloo Tikkis
- ¼ cup Ragda curry or as needed
- 1 tsp Green chutney or as needed
- 1 tsp Sweet tamarind chutney or as needed
- 2 tsp chopped cilantro or as needed
- 2 tsp Chopped onion tsp or as needed
Instructions
- Soak the white peas in water overnight, or for at least 4–5 hours. Drain before cooking. Add the soaked, drained peas to a pressure cooker.
- Add salt, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and 2½ cups water. Stir well.
- Pressure cook for 4–5 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally.
- Once open, scoop out about ⅓ cup of the cooked peas and blend or mash them well. Stir this back into the pot — it thickens the gravy naturally without cornstarch or other thickeners.
- Add cilantro and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Ragda is ready.
- Place 2 tikkis on a wide serving plate.
- Spoon the ragda generously over the tikkis.
- Drizzle green chutney and sweet chutney over the top.
- Finish with chopped cilantro and onions. Add sev and pomegranate seeds if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust spices and salt in the ragda to taste.
- For a more rounded flavor, add a small piece of jaggery and 1 tsp tamarind paste to the ragda.
- Kids' shortcut: swap both chutneys for ketchup — it works surprisingly well.
- Add or skip toppings as desired.
