Ragda Recipe is used in many chaats like Ragda Patties(which I will post soon),Dahi Chaat,Samosa Chaat or even for Aloo Tikki Chaat etc.It is made with yellow peas and gives nice volume and suitable for serving when you have guests at home.This is very easy to make and takes less time too when you have the chutneys ready.
I made this Ragda recipe many months back when I was craving for chaats but was not able to relish chaats in restaurants.This baby in me never allowed to have chaats and many of my favs in restaurants yes I was limited only to pongal everytime I visited restaurants that even mittu started teasing me that the baby will come out and ask only for pongal π

Nice and tasty dish. For a long time I used to wonder, how this taste is only in shop chats alone…. now I found that from your recipe. Your step by step pic really very helpful to make it perfectly. Your beautiful pic of Eco friendly Arecanut bowls are so cute with the tasty Ragda. Waiting for your Ragda patties.
