    Spices to make ragda

    • Coriander powder
    • Cumin powder
    • Garam masala powder

    How to make ragda in instant pot?

    Although beans and lentils can be cooked dry, I prefer to soak the dried white peas (vatana) for about 6-8 hours. It softens the dried peas and hence requires lesser cooking time. This step allows me to not overcook my spices and other ingredients while making the curry as a one-pot meal.

    Thanks to the instant pot, making Ragda (white/yellow peas curry) is a breeze.

    For the curry, the peas should be well cooked, 15 minutes on high-pressure mode followed by natural pressure release cooks the peas to perfection.

    How to make ragda samosa chaat?

    Once the ragda or white peas curry is cooked in the instant pot, it is ready to be used to make ragda pattice chaat or ragda samosa chaat.

    Ragda pattice is one popular variant of chaat made from ragda (white/yellow peas curry) and pattice (potato patties or aloo tikkis), topped with chutneys and gram noodles. The potato patties are made from mashed potatoes mixed with spices and grilled on both sides.

    If you have few friends coming over, you are short of time and making pattice is really not an option then do not lose heart. 'Samosa Chaat' is there to save the day which is another great variant of chaat.

    samosa chaat

    As you might have guessed already, pattice can be easily replaced with fresh or frozen samosa and delicious 'samosa chaat' is there to the rescue.

    To prepare the samosa chaat, break a samosa so as to form a base of the chaat on which a generous amount of ragda can be put over it.

    Top it up with some green chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, sprinkle some chaat masala, and thin sev (gram noodles). Optionally, garnish it with some chopped onions and cilantro.

    There are a variety of samosas available but usually, Punjabi samosas having potato fillings work best for samosa chaat.

    Serving Samosa chaat

    Samosa chaat can be served as an appetizer, it is a great dish for potlucks. It is quite filling and at times can just be a full meal in itself!

    Depending on whether it is served as an appetizer or having for a full meal, preparing the chaat with one or two samosas would be a good serving size.
