Ragda Pattis

I love chaat items and particularly liked this one when I ate this at my friend Sunanda's place. The ragda recipe is with green dry chana.. Try it and hope you enjoy!

Ingridients:-

Dry green chana - 2 cups

Potatoes - 2 big

Onion - 1 big chopped

Tomato - optional

Green chillies, Ginger

Lemon juice

Chaat Masala

Butter and Oil

For Ragda:-

1. Soak the green chana over night and pressure cook them for 3 whistles.

2. Take butter in a pan and add chopped onions, green chilli and ginger paste, and fry for a min. Then add tomato and fry for another min, then add the cooked green chana.

3. Add chaat masala, salt.

The key is to fry the chaat in hot pan, so that you get the good flavour

For Pattis:-

1. Pressure cook potatoes and mash them well. Add salt, chillie powder, peas(if you like)

2. Add little garam masala if you like it spicy (I do not add though)

3. Add little amchur powder if you like it little sour.

4. Now to hold the patti together you can add bread crumbs or very litle maida as you like. But if you potatoes are starchy enough you dont need to add anything. I generally add only potatoes.

5. So make round balls and flatten them to the shape you desire, Round, Oval or even heart shaped if you have called friends home to make it fancy:-)!

6. Deep fry in oil on med flame till they are golden brown.

Ragda Pattis:-

Take 2 patties and pour some ragda on it. Add more onion if you like, top it with fresh coriander and enjoy with your friends and family.
