## About

It is a popular and multipurpose chaat gravy made with white peas and a blend of spices with freshly chopped onions and tomatoes. **Ragda Chaat** or **Matar chaat** is an extension of the popular Ragda gravy with loaded flavors and taste. The gravy is topped with other popular chaat ingredients to make it a special chaat. The same gravy can also be used as a base for all the other popular chaat to make it a flavored and lip-smacking dish.

The most common Ragda gravy is prepared with white peas, but it is not only the way it is prepared. The other peas like green and purple can also be used as it does not require overnight soaking and can make a thick gravy. Using green pea gravy has more use cases and it can also be extended to breads like roti and chapati. In addition, the chaat recipe itself can be made with different snacks and combinations of veggies.
