Ragda Pattice is a very popular snack and fast food in India. It consists of patties made of mashed potatoes and ragda which consists of a thick gravy made of white peas. Add to it onion, coriander, spicy mint chutney and sweet and tangy tamarind chutney, and you have a delicious snack ready for you.
