This is a popular street food and a Chaat in Mumbai is popular all over India. I wanted to try this for a long time, and then we went to a local Chaat Shop near our place and had this. Wow it was heavenly and I just had to make it at home. I tried this the following week and it was one hearty meal. Even though it falls under the chaat catagory, it makes a good dinner and surely fills your tummy :)

Add the tomatoes, green chilli and all the masala powder and salt.
Add a little water and allow the tomato to cook for few minutes.
Add the cooked peas and close the pan.
Allow to cook for few more minutes, add fresh cilantro and then set aside.
The consistency should be a little to the watery side, so if it starts to thicken up, add the cooked peas water from the cooker (if any) or add water.

Blend and set aside.
Sweet Chaat Chutney:
Microwave the tamrind with 3/4 cup of water for two minutes.
Puree the tamrind and extract the water.
Blend the pitted dates along with the tamrind water in a blender.
Heat this mixture on low flame.
Add the jaggery and allow to dissolve.
Add the chaat masala powder and salt.
Boil this mixture on medium heat for 20 minutes till the mixture thickens to a saucy consistency.
Patties:
To the mashed potato, add all the other ingredients and mix well with hand.
Divide into 4 parts.
Place a portion between your palms and gently press them so it forms a patty - like shape.
Do this for all the portions. Set aside.
Just before serving, heat few tblspn of oil in a flat pan, place the patties over the oil and fry till golden brown on both the sides.
Arrange:
In a plate, place two patties, scoop some hot ragda over the patties.
Add some chopped onion, chopped tomato, cilanto.
