I didnt make any tikka chutney but u can with pudina green chilles and corriander.I normally make the gravy spicy so a small short cut here.
Some additional chopped onions ,corriander leaves and ready made nylon or thicker sev for assembling will be required .
To assemble-Put two pattice in a plate pour the ragda to cover it.Some sweet + tikka if u have made that chutney then... cubed onions and sev and fresh chopped corriander leaves and enjoy chatting and chat together.
