Ragda Patties or Ragda Pattice is a popular street food recipe where crispy fried potato patties are topped with a spicy and tangy ragda made with dried white chickpeas. It is then topped with chutney, onions, chillies, sec, and spices to get a flavourful dish. Here is how to make it.
Most of the days, I make sure that my family eats wholesome home-cooked food, but there are days when I just feel like taking a break from the everyday food and indulge in some spicy delicious street food.
While I love Pani Puri and Sev Puri, one of the other street food items that I just can’t resist is Ragda Patties, which is very popular in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat.
It is very similar to Chole Tikki, as called in other parts of North India.
But there is a slight difference in both of them as the curry in Ragda Pattice is made with white dried peas whereas, in Chole Tikki, we use chickpeas or white channa.
Both of them are garnished with green chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, finely chopped onions, and fine sev. Yummy!
But this time, during Monsoons I was craving for Ragda Pattice, and going out was a big no because of heavy rains.
So I thought why not make it at home, and to my surprise all the ingredients required to make it were already available in my pantry.
The outcome was so good, that nowadays I make them at home often and the visits to nearby chaat centers have become comparatively less. HAHA!
So, if you are also craving for this delectable chaat, follow my easy recipe and make them at home.
