Ragda is a mash of white peas and pattice are patties made of potato. Hence, this dish is mainly made of potato patties, spiced white peas and garnished with sev, onions, peanut and chutneys to give it its sweet and spicy flavour. It’s all vegan! This dish is part of the popular street food culture in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat in India. As this is the longest time that I have not visited home, I do miss the local food so I decided to make it myself.
