Ingredients

  • Ingredients for the Ragda (White Peas Curry):
  • * 1 cup white peas (ragda), soaked and boiled (pressure cook for about 2-3 whistles until just tender)

  • * 1 tsp roasted cumin powder

  • * 1 tbsp garlic, chopped

  • * 1 tsp dried mango powder

  • * 1 tbsp red chili powder (optional)

  • * ½ tsp turmeric

  • * Salt to taste

  • * 1 tsp black pepper powder

  • * 2 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped

  • Ingredients for the Tikki (Potato Patties):
  • * 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and grated

  • * 1 tbsp green chilies, finely chopped

  • * 1 tsp roasted cumin powder

  • * Salt to taste

  • * Oil for shallow frying

  • Ingredients for Garnish:
  • * Chaat masala

  • * Coriander sprig

  • * Crushed Manda/Nylon sev

Directions

  • Preparing the Ragda (White Peas Curry):
  • In a pressure cooker, add the soaked white peas and enough water to cover them. Pressure cook for about 2-3 whistles or until the peas are just tender. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the white peas from the water, reserving both the remaining peas and the boiled water.
  • In a pan, heat some oil and add chopped garlic. Sauté until it becomes aromatic and releases its delightful fragrance.
  • Add the scooped out white peas, roasted cumin powder, dried mango powder, red chili powder (if using), turmeric, salt, and black pepper powder and boiled potato.
  • Allow the mixture to mix and dry, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken. Garnish it with fresh coriander leaves.
  • Preparing the Tikki (Potato Patties):
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ragda aloo mixture, finely chopped green chilies, roasted cumin powder, and salt. This mixture will be the heart of your Aloo Tikki.
  • Shape the mixture into medium-sized balls and then flatten them between your palms to create those perfect potato patties.
  • Heat a tawa or frying pan and add oil for shallow frying. Carefully place your Aloo Tikkis in the hot oil.
  • Shallow fry the Aloo Tikkis until they turn a beautiful golden brown, occasionally pressing them gently with the back of a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  • Once done, drain the crispy Tikkis on absorbent paper.
  • Assembling the Aloo Ragda Tikki Chaat:
  • Place the golden-brown Aloo Tikkis on a plate, creating a delightful base for your chaat.
  • Pour the hot Ragda (white peas curry) generously over the tikkis, letting it soak into the patties.
  • Now, the fun part! Add heaps of whipped yogurt, tangy tamarind chutney, and zesty green chutney over the patties.
  • To elevate the flavors, sprinkle chaat masala and a touch of red chili powder generously over your chaat, creating that irresistible tangy kick.
  • Finally, garnish your masterpiece with a fresh coriander sprig and a generous helping of crushed Manda or Nylon sev, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
