How to make ragda chaat?
For ragda, take some matar(yellow peas). Wash them and soak them with water for 10 to 12 hours(overnight). after that, wash them again.
Now, take a pressure cooker, add soaked peas. Add 800 to 900 ml water.
Close the lead and pressure cook it for 5 to 6 whistles on a high flame. Or until it turns soft. When it is done, turn off the heat and leave it to release the pressure.
When you press the peas and it is soft and mushy. It is ready. If not, pressure cooks it for 2 to 3 whistles again.
Now, take a kadhai or pan, add oil. Here you can use any oil. Heat it for 30 to 40 seconds on medium flame. Then turn the flame on low. Add cumin seeds and Kashmiri red chili powder.
Add boiled and mashed potatoes. Mix well.
Cook it for 3 minutes on medium flame. Then add all powdered spices(mentioned above). Add salt and turmeric powder too.
Mix well and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes on medium flame.
Then add boiled peas with some water(approx 100 ml). here I use water in which we cook the peas.
Mix well and cook for 10 minutes on high flame. here, check the salt and chili and adjust it as per your taste.
Then add water and mix well. If it is too thick, add more water.
Again cook it for 10 minutes on high flame. After that turn off the heat. When it is cooled completely you can store this ragda for 2 to 3 days in the fridge.
