Ragda

Ragda is a white peas gravy that is used in various chat recipes such as sev puri, pani puri, ragda patties etc. You can also use it innovatively for making dosa chaat, idli chaat, upma chaat, cornflakes chaat, canapé chaat or toast chaat. 

Ingredients: 

White peas : 1 cup

Potato : 1 medium 

Oil : 1 tblsp 

Onion : 1 medium 

Turmeric powder : 1/2 tsp

Cumin powder : 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder : 1/2 tsp

Chili powder : 1 tsp

Pepper powder : 1/2 tsp

Jaggery : 1 or 2 tblsp (optional)

Salt : to taste 

Procedure :

Wash the peas and soak them in water overnight or for 6 - 7 hours. 

Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add chopped onions, sauté for a minute then add the spices- turmeric, chili, pepper and coriander powder, and mix well.

Drain out the water from the soaking peas, give them a wash and put it into the cooker along with diced potatoes and water. Make sure the water level is above the other ingredients.

Put on the cooker lid and let it boil until 3 whistles on high flame, then switch the flame to low and cook it for another 10 minutes, then switch it off. They should become mushy by then. (Older peas take longer to cook) To this add chopped coriander, salt and sweetener to taste and mix well. You may add more water to it depending on the desired consistency.
