White Pea(Vatana) Curry (Sorry I wasn’t able to recover this picture)
Date & Tamarind Chutney (recipe below)

Green Chutney (recipe below)

Ragda Pattice are a typical Mumbai street food snack. Potato patties are topped with a white pea also known as ‘Vatana’ curry, garnished with date and Tamarind chutney, ‘sev’ or dried lentil vermicelli and chopped Coriander. This recipe however brings back very sad memories, we recorded and documented enough footage for three videos but because of a miscommunication, my son reformatted the card and erased everything. I tried everything to recover the footage, but all we were able to save are some of these pictures.

This recipe made up of three components the potato patty, the white pea curry and the tamarind and date chutney. The sev can be bought in most Indian stores.

To assemble, place the patty at the bottom, the whote pea or vatana curry can be piled on top or on the side(typically it’s served on top), dot with tamarind & green chutney and pile the crunchy sev on top, Garnish with Coriander leaves and serve.
