Now open the cooker and check if the peas are soft. If they are hard then cook for a few more minutes. We want soft peas.
Let us make the masala for the Ragda.

Notes
It is always best to soak the peas overnight for easier cooking.
Drain the water of boiled potatoes once the potatoes are boiled.
Keep the spices simple , all flavors are enhanced with condiments.
Make all the chutneys in advance, it’s a breeze to cook the other two components.
The dish is a crowd pleaser and you can serve it for kids party too.
The Garlic Chutney gives a super kick to this dish , I highly recommend it.
