Ragda Patties With A Twist

The name may be familiar to all but there is a twist in the making of both ragda and the patties. the ragda was made this way by my mother in law, she loved all the tongue tickling snacks and chats loaded with spice and tang. This is one of her specialities and the pattie is my experi-mental method. Hoping you too enjoy making it and savoring a new delicacy.

Ingredients for the patties
A)
3 potatoes
1/2 cup peeled milk gourd pieces  (dudhi)
The above to be pressure cooked to two whistles
B)
1 small bunch spring onion, only the green portion
4 slices of whole wheat bread
4 green chillies crushed
1/2 cup freshly chopped coriander
1/2 a lime squeezed
Salt to taste
1 tpn coriander powder
C)
 Mix all the above ingredients to make a dough, make equal sized balls, give them a pattie shape and shallow fry them till golden with a little oil, on both sides

Ingredients for the ragda

A)
2 cups of  split pigeon pea lentil (toor dal) pressure cooked to 2 whistles, once done, mix all ingredients given  below and bring it to a boil to make a not very thick consistency of ragda

B)
3 tspns of tamarind paste
1 tspn of coriander powder
1/2 tspn of chilli powder
1/2 tspn of black pepper powder
Salt to taste
1/2 cup freshly chopped coriander

To serve
Take a serving bowl, serve the ready patties, pour a ladle of the ragda on top and savour. You could add the sweet chutney or the spicy chutney for extra taste but believe me you will not need any of these because as it is the dish is super tasty.
