Before you start

  • The ragda should be thin enough to pour, not a thick curry. It is a sauce for the pattice, not a dal.
  • Crush a ladle of the cooked peas against the pan to thicken it rather than adding flour.

Method

  1. Pressure cook the soaked peas with turmeric and salt for 5 whistles until completely soft.
  2. Temper cumin in oil, add ginger and chilli, then tip in the peas with their liquid.
  3. Crush a ladleful against the side of the pan and simmer 10 minutes to a pouring consistency.Pouring, not spooning. Add hot water if it tightens.
  4. Mix the grated potato with cornflour, chaat masala and salt, and shape into 8 patties.
  5. Shallow-fry the pattice on a tawa, 5 minutes a side, until a hard crust forms.
  6. Put two pattice in each bowl and ladle the hot ragda over them.
  7. Top with chopped onion, both chutneys, chaat masala and coriander.

Storage

The ragda keeps 3 days refrigerated and thickens; loosen with hot water. Pattice are best fresh but the raw shaped patties keep 2 days.
