Sending this to " THANK YOU MOM" event organised by Satya During my childhood days, I had heard of pani puri, bhel puri, masala puri. Ragada pattice is the first chaat I tasted in Shanthi sagar in Bangalore-Rajajinagar during my high school days. From then, mom used to make this special chaat during weekends when i used to visit home. This is one of my fav evening time snack. Ingredients:- For the patties:- Potatoes-5 Green chillies-5 Coriander leaves- 1/2 bunch Salt to taste For the Ragada(Curry):- Dry peas- 1 large cup( Soak it overnight in water) Tomato-2 Garlic- 4 flakes Ginger-1.5 inch Coriander- 1/2 bunch Cloves-2 Cinnamon-1 inch Cardomom-2 Jeera- 1 tspn Red chilli powder- 1/2 tspn Dhaniya powder-1/2 tspn Pepper-1/2 tspn Method:- Pressure cook potatoes and mash them and keep it aside. Grind green chillies and coriander in to paste by adding little salt. Put the paste in to the mashed potato and make small balls out of it . Flatten them as patties and shallow fry them on a pan by adding oil.
