Pav ragda is the popular street food of Saurashtra in Gujarat. It is made with pav, spicy ragda, chaat chutney, and top with sev and masala peanuts. It tastes sweet, sour, and spicy and loves by all kinds of age groups. In this recipe, I made green peas which are made quickly and taste great. I also share different types of chaat chutney recipes. Pav ragda is easy to make with leftover bread and all available ingredients in your kitchen. Do try this!
The key to making tasty pav ragda at home are
- Use ladi pav for this recipe, but you can use leftover bread slices instead of it.
- The consistency of ragda should be slightly liquid, so it will easily absorb into the bread.
- Tamarind chutney, green chutney, and garlic chutney taste great for preparing pav ragda or other chaats. These chutneys can be easily stored and preserved in a jar and can be used whenever required.
- Sev and Masala peanuts give a crunchy taste to the dish, you can use fried chana dal or boondi instead of masala sing.
- Lastly, once the pav ragda is made, it has to be served immediately.
