Ragda pattis

Ragda Patties (also spelled Ragda Pattice) is a popular, flavorful Indian street food snack from the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is a hearty and satisfying "chaat" (savory snack) that combines a variety of textures and sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors in every bite. 

• Ragda (Pea Curry): A light stew or gravy made from rehydrated dried white peas (safed matar or vatana) and mild spices. The peas are cooked until soft and slightly mashed, resulting in a thick, soupy consistency.
• Patties (Potato Cakes): These are shallow-fried or pan-fried cutlets made from mashed potatoes, sometimes mixed with breadcrumbs or poha (flattened rice) for crispiness and binding. In contrast to North Indian aloo tikkis, the patties themselves are typically seasoned simply with salt and sometimes a few green chilies or ginger, allowing the other toppings to provide the main flavor punch.
