    When I was browsing my handwritten recipe book that I wrote before marriage, it had this Ragda patties recipe.

    When I saw the spelling and ingredient measurements I had written, I can’t stop laughing.

    It clearly show how blank I was in cooking and about that specific recipe too.

    Then I asked my friend Sangeeta about the recipe. She shared one easy version through which I got an idea and I came up with my own version combining both.

    I don’t think I had tasted this chaat before. But I was sure this will be a hit seeing the ingredients and recipe.

    And yes, I loved it a lot. I thought I will post this recipe yesterday, but had no time to edit and post. So here’s my version of ragda pattice which I assure will turn out yum and you will love it.

    About

    Ragda is a gravy (curry) with mild spices making it perfect for the dish. It is perfectly balanced that you can even have it as such.

    Dried white peas is used commonly to prepare this gravy.

    Pattice which is localized term of a patty made with potato as main ingredient.

    Though it is just mashed potato and salt, I made it mildly spiced.

    Notes

    • Adjust water quantity in ragda to get the right consistency.
    • I used 1 teaspoon tamarind to extract tamarind juice.
    • Cook potatoes carefully, if over cooked, it becomes very mushy when we make patty.
    • Add bread crumbs generously too, to make it tasty and also it helps in binding the patty stiff.

      Yes you can deep fry. Green peas not sure - I think green peas has different flavor from these white ones. Not sure how it would taste.

      Hi Raks..

      I just tried this recipe last night and it was a super duper hit. Excellent measurements. Especially, Ragda recipe is the best, super fast and the taste came out just like the chat centers.. I liked the fact that, several other recipes used the same onion tomato concoction and your's did not. Thank you so much!
