Method
Step 1: Ragda Banaye
- Soaked safed matar ko pressure cooker me namak aur pani ke saath 4–5 whistles tak pakaye.

- Pan me oil ya butter garam karein. Onion sauté karein jab tak translucent ho jaye.
- Ginger-garlic paste aur green chilli daal kar ek minute bhunein.
- Saare dry masale daal kar halka sa roast karein.
- Cooked matar aur mashed aloo add karein. Pani daal kar medium flame par 8–10 minute simmer karein.
- Ragda creamy aur thoda thick ho jana chahiye. Fresh coriander se garnish karein.
Step 2: Chutneys Tayaar Karein
- Meethi chutney: Imli pulp, gud, namak aur bhuna jeera ko medium flame par paka kar thick hone dein.
- Hari chutney: Saare ingredients ko mixer me smooth grind kar lein.
Step 3: Assembly
- Serving bowl me garam ragda daalein.
- Upar se chopped onion, meethi chutney aur hari chutney daalein.
- Chaat masala, lemon juice aur sev generously sprinkle karein.
- Fresh coriander se garnish karke turant serve karein.
Mumbai Street-Style Tips
- Ragda ko thoda zyada garam serve karein—taste aur aroma dono enhance hote hain.
- Butter ka ek chhota cube upar se daalne par street-style richness milti hai.
- Agar zyada teekha pasand ho, to red chilli garlic chutney bhi add kar sakte hain.
Variations
- Ragda Patties: Ragda ke saath aloo patties add karke aur bhi filling bana sakte hain.
- Jain Version: Onion aur garlic skip karke bhi yeh recipe equally tasty lagti hai.
- Healthy Twist: Less sev use karein aur zyada sprouts ya boiled peas add karein.
