Cooking steps for Ragda Pav
- 1Ragda Pav is like the cool, street-food royalty of Mumbai, and we're diving right into its delicious chaos! Start by soaking white peas for 7-8 hours—it's their spa day. Once plumped and ready, boil them till tender and perfect.
- 2Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pan and toss in a sizzling paste of ginger, garlic, and green chili—the trifecta of flavor magic. Add your favorite dry masalas (turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili) along with 3 tablespoons of water, and roast it all until your kitchen smells like a spice carnival. In go the boiled peas, followed by mashed potatoes for that creamy-meets-hearty vibe.
- 3Stir, mash, and set this ragda goodness aside.
- 4Next up, the Tari. Take a bowl and mix garlic, Kashmiri chili powder, and salt with a glass of water—it's a fiery base.
- 5Heat a tablespoon of oil, pour in this red-hot concoction, and let it boil into a lip-smacking gravy. On another burner, whip up a sweet saunth chutney:,simmer aamchur (dry mango powder), dates, jaggery, and water for seven glorious minutes.
- 6Add a pinch of salt, red chili powder, and saunth (dry ginger powder), then blend it to silky perfection. Voilà, you now have your flavor squad prepped: ragda, tari, and sweet chutney.
- 7Time to assemble like a pro!
- 8For the fancy bowl version, tear pieces of pav (the humble Indian bread roll) and layer them up with a generous ladle of ragda.
- 9Add tari and sweet chutney as per your spice and sweetness drama. Top with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander, and a sprinkle of masala-roasted peanuts for crunch. And let's not forget the pièce de r sistance—sev, that crispy fried gram noodle situation.
- 10If you're a purist, keep it OG with ragda served alongside fluffy, buttery pav, letting you dunk, scoop, and devour.
- 11Oh, and here's a cheeky twist: transform this into Ragda Pav Kebabs by shaping the ragda-potato mix into patties, frying them until golden, and layering them in between pav with all the chutneys. Street food meets caf chic—what's not to love? Ragda Pav: messy, hearty, and ridiculously satisfying.
