Ragda Patties

                                                    Ragada Patties  is a very popular street food in North India and western parts of India.It is one of my favourites.I am fond of almost all the chaat except a few like dal kachori and dahi puri.Whichever chaat is a little spicy and tasty i just love them.We mostly eat our chaat in Gangotri or Ajnabi these are the two places it is very good and tasty according to me.I always tell them to make mine a little more sweet than the usual(to add more sweet chutney)because i like the sweetness more in them.
                                  Today i made this chaat because i was craving for some chaat and  i really got bored of the usual cooking like sambar,rasam and curry.First i made the two chutneys and kept them ready so that it is easier while serving,then i made the Ragada which is prepared with dried white peas cooked with onions tomatoes and spices.Lastly made the patties with boiled potatoes and spices which is shallow fried.Just before serving all of these are assembled in a interesting way to get a spicy,tangy,sweet dish called "Ragada Patties".
