This Mother’s Day I wanted to share one my of mom’s favorite recipes, Radga Pattice. Ragda Pattice is popular street snack served on the roadside of India. Its filled with such wholesome flavors and topped off with a sweet and tangy chutneys and the crunch of some sev. It’s savory potato pattie that’s been drowned in ragda, a spicy gravy with white peas and abundant of spices. This is one snack that is absolutely mouth-watering and satisfies your cravings.

This is one of my moms favorite street food snack, when she was growing up she would save her money and sneak out with her sisters just to go eat at this local street vendors cart. She would always rave about this place and tell us how over the years no matter how many times she visits, the flavors and the taste is still the same! When we would go to India my mom would take us here and this place was EVERYTHING she described.

When I got married I would go back to Boston to visit my parents and my mom would always make a big batch of this for me to take back to Jersey. I still remember vividly she would always pack my Radga Pattice in rubbermaid containers. She swore by them, because she loved how they were durable and secure (considering I had a 5hr drive) and not to mention dishwasher- and microwave- safe to reheat once I got home. With Rubbermaid EasyFindLids, my mom would literally stack all my containers on top of each other, snap them into the base of other containers, this was PERFECT for any liquids like chutneys and not to mention how much space it saved!

Notes

  • You can boil the potatoes and vatana all in the instant pot at the same time. I have two separate stack able containers that I put in IP.
  • Make the pattice filling the night before to save time or cook the vatana (dried white peas) and potatoes the night before.
  • You can make the pattice in advance and keep it warm in the oven until your ready to serve to keep them nice and crispy.
