White Matar Chat /सफ़ेद मटर की चाट

There are two types of peas which we used
One is fresh green peas and other is in dried form.

Fresh peas can be used in various dishes like sabji, pulao, paratha, nimona etc. Dried peas usually used for making ghughni and chat.

Dried peas are produced by harvesting the peapod when they are fully matured and then they drying them.

Safed matar or white peas is also known as vatana in maharashtra.

Safed matar are packed with protein  This year the farmer working on our farmland have grown peas and dried some peas for us.

Bengalis make ghughni using white peas and in maharashtra they make ragda patties. 

In up we make chat from safed matar.

In lucknow there is very famous street food "safed matar ki tikki" which is fries like aloo ki tikki and then topped with chopped onion, ginger, green chili, coriander, green chutney and meethi chutney along with spices and whipped curd.

There is a very old and famous chat shop "Gupta chat bhandar"  which servers "safed matar ki tikki chat". 

My brother was very fond of that chat and whenever he came back to home from office he used to buy a tikki patta and we all enjoyed it. 

But after marriage I missed that safed matar ki chat .

Some people add fried aloo ke laccha or crushad papdi. I always make aloo ka laccha at home , but this year could not make it due to health issues. 

I always miss that matar ki tikki. Jo maza chat wale bhaiya ke hath mein hai wo ghar mein kahan 😊
