¼th Cup fresh Coriander Leaves-finely chopped

Instructions
We will now pressure cook white peas. Transfer soaked peas to a pressure cooker. Add 1½ Cups of Water, Turmeric Powder and Salt and mix well. Pressure cook on high for 1 whistle and then reduce the heat and take 2 whistles
Let the pressure release naturally, meanwhile, we will mash the boiled Potatoes. Now, add Corn flour and Salt to mashed Potatoes and mix well.
The Potato mixture is ready. Grease a plate with some Oil and apply some Oil on your palms. Take a lemon size portion of the mixture and roll into round shape. Gently press between your palms and shape it into flat Tikkis/Pattice. Roll on the plate to smoothen the Tikkis. Tikkis are now ready. Similarly, make other Tikkis. In these measurements, we have made 9 Pattice/Tikkis. Keep it aside
Boiled Peas is also ready. We have reserved the water used for boiling. Let's now make Ragda
Heat 2 tbsp Cooking Oil in a Pan. Add mustard seeds, asafoetida powder. Add Curry Leaves and Ginger-Garlic Paste and fry on low heat. Add Onions and cook until it becomes soft
After 4-5 mins, Onions become soft. Now add Red Chili Powder, roasted Cumin Seeds Powder, dry Coriander Powder, Garam Masala Powder, some Salt and cook the masala. When Masala becomes dry, add reserved water and cook. We have cooked Masala for 4 mins and Oil has begun to ooze out
Now add cooked White Peas and the reserved water (1/2 Cup water). Add some more water and salt to taste. We have added total 1 Cup of water.
Boil Ragda on high heat. Mash peas with the ladle. Cook on reduced heat now. We have cooked Ragda for 5 mins on low heat. This is the right consistency for Ragda. Remove from heat and keep covered.
Now, we will make Tikkis/Pattice. Heat a non-stick pan on high heat. Add 1 tbsp Oil and spread in the Pan. Now fry Pattice on low-medium heat on this pan. Fry until the Tikkis become golden brown from both sides. We have fried Pattice for 4 mins on low heat. Turn the tikkis and fry from other side. Cook from other side for 4 mins and remove from the Pan
Now, we will do a plating of Ragda Pattice. I am using a square plate and a ring mold that I like the most and use it often for plating. Put 2-3 spoons of Ragda in this mold and level it with the spoon. Gently lift the ring mold. Place the pattice on top of Ragda bed. Put some more Ragda on this Pattice
Now, we will add the chutneys. We start with Green Coriander-Mint Chutney, Red Chili-Garlic Chutney (optional) and sweet and tangy date-tamarind chutney. Get all these chutneys on our channel (Check Chatpata Chaat playlist). Add some chopped Onions, Nylon Sev. Sprinkle some Chaat Masala. Finally, add some chopped Coriander leaves
Ragda Pattice is now ready to be served
