Instructions
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.
- Turn Instant Pot to Sauté 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.
To make Potato Patties or Aloo Tikki
- Mash potatoes with spices + binder. Shape into flat discs. Shallow fry on medium heat until golden
How to Air Fry Potato Patties
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C), lightly brush or spray the patties with oil, and place them in a single layer. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the outside.
To assemble and serve Ragda Patties
- Place 2 patties on plate. Pour hot ragda over.
- 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! Serve warm.
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.
