Ragda Pattice was one of our favorite after school snack growing up in Pune, India. For me anything potato is lip smacking yummy, you add all the sweet – savory toppings, it becomes heavenly.

However, after moving to USA, making Ragda Patties at home felt bit tedious. It involves two step process. And I always somehow kept it on back burner of list to try.

However, once I decided to make it for a party. It was instant hit with my guests. Folks hadn’t had this wonderful experience in a while so everyone devoured it.

So now, for change of pace and when I need something different and unique as an appetizer or filling snack, I make Ragda Patties.

I am suggesting several options to make this recipe easy and quick. All without sacrificing the taste. So read along..

Ragda Patties also is very filling and hearty dish. So some weeknights, you can serve it as a main course meal along with a rice entree like Turmeric Lemon Rice or Vegetable Schezwan Rice for fabulous dinner.

This dish is also plant protein rich and low calorie. I am not using much of oil , nothing is deep fried except a sprinkle of some sev on top.

So go ahead and enjoy this lip-smacking delicious, finger licking yummy Ragda Patties.

What is Ragda Patties ( Ragda Pattice)

Ragda is white peas curry enhanced with spices tempered in oil. You serve it over the patties.

Cooked white peas are slightly sweet in taste. So you don’t need to add additional sugar while making the curry.

This curry is delectable as is and can be easily used as any other gravy to serve over rice, quinoa, couscous or roti.

Patties or Aloo Tikki is potato cutlet which is second part of this dish. Crispy and delicious, these tikkis are also amazing just to munch on as a snack.

You pan fry these cutlets with oil sprayed pan on stovetop. You can make them in oven, airfryer or even pan fry them.

For serving, Ragda Patties is drizzled with cilantro chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, chopped onion and cilantro, and fine sev.

Making Ragda and Patties requires just a handful of ingredients. If you use electric pressure cooker like InstantPot, the cooking and prepping gets pretty easy and hands off.

How to Make Ragda Patties

To make Ragda curry, I usually soak the white peas overnight. If you forget to soak them overnight, wash and soak them in hot water for at least an hour. This ensures that peas cook nice and soft.

Step by step process to make Ragda ( white peas curry)

Turn Instant Pot to Saute mode. Once the hot sign displays, add oil. Allow the oil to heat up for a minute. Add cumin and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle for a minute.

Add asafetida, turmeric and red chili powder, ginger and garlic paste. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add garam masala and salt. Mix well.

Add soaked peas and 2 cups of water. Close Instant Pot lid and move pressure valve to sealing. Press Manual , Hi pressure for 15 minutes followed by NPR.

After the silver pin drops, Open IP lid carefully. Mash some of the cooked peas with a potato masher or using the back of your spoon.

Stir the curry well. Adjust the seasoning or water if needed. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Ragda is ready !

Step by step process to make Potato Patties

Add 1 cup water to Instant Pot. Put the steamer basket inside and place the potatoes on it. Close the lid with pressure valve to sealing. Cook on Manual(Hi) for 10 mins followed by Natural Pressure Release.

Open the instant pot. Peel the potatoes and put in a large mixing bowl. Add turmeric and red chili powder, minced ginger, chilies, salt and corn or rice flour.

Adding soaked pohe ( Indian flattened rice ) makes the tikkies crispy. Mash everything together with a potato masher to make a smooth dough.

Take about 2 tablespoon of the dough on your palm. Form a round ball and gently press it so there is circular disc about 2 inch.

Repeat the process to make the cutlets out of all the dough. You should get roughly 14 -16 patties.

Heat a large non-stick griddle or cast iron pan and spray some cooking oil. Put the patties on the griddle. Flip half way in between and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Turn the heat off. Crispy on outside and moist inside potato tikkies are ready.

Now is the time to assemble the Ragda Pattice together.

To serve Ragda Patties, place two patties on a plate and then ladle 1/2 cup ragda curry over the patties.

Drizzle spoonful each of cilantro chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. Sprinkle chopped onion, tomato, cilantro on top.

Garnish with fine nylon sev. For additional flavors, sprinkle chaat masala, red chili powder, cumin powder on top! Your beautiful Ragda Patties is now ready ! Devour with gusto!!

Notes

Tips to save time and make Ragda Patties in a jiffy !

- instead of making home made aloo tikki,  use store brought hash brown patties. Warm them in oven per package instructions and use them as tikkis. ( works beautifully since these hash brown patties are nice and crispy )

- use store brought tamarind and cilantro chutney.

- use frozen white peas to save time in soaking. The active cooking time reduces to 8 minutes.
