Ragada pattice or Ragada patties is a delicious and popular Mumbai street food item made with crispy potato patties topped with the ragada- a white peas gravy and sweet and savory condiments. This popular chat item is known by different names with slight variations in other parts of India such as Aloo tiki chat. Having grown up in Mumbai, I have fond memories of watching the local thelawala (costermonger) make this as we devoured it in no time.
Here is a sneak peak on how I make Ragada patties watch video:
Soak the white peas overnight. Add turmeric, salt, chilly powder and coriander cumin powder and pressure cook on IP for 12 minutes. You can pressure cook on regular pressure cooker for 4 whistles. The ragada should be well cooked and soft with these basic spices.
For the patties, boil the potatoes and mash them. I use the pot in pot method and cook the potatoes along with the peas. You can cook them separately in pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles or microwave on high for 10 minutes or just boil them in a pan. Add bread crumbs, spices and make flat round patties with hands and shallow fry them on pan.
You may have noticed both ragada and patties have minimal ingredients and spices. That is how it s made typically to bring out the natural flavors along with the flavor of the chutneys along with raw onions and sev.
To assemble the ragada patties, add the patties in a plate. Pour the ragada on top followed by sweet chutney, spicy chutney, some garlic chutney powder (optional), crushed flat puri, raw onions, cilantro and sev and enjoy!
