How to make Ragda Patties Recipe:

1. You can add boiled Chana Dal or Green Peas in mashed potatoes. Sometimes I do that for the variation of Aloo Patty.
2. It is always good to shallow fry these Patties on hot tawa, instead of deep frying them in oil in pan. Because then Ragda Patties becomes too heavy and high in calories.
