Ragda is a gravy made with peas and spices. This is one of India’s famous street food and I had this on my list forever, but was postponing it because I had no sev on hand and there is no Indian store near by. Finally, made it last weekend and it was a bit time consuming because I made the chutney, sev, ragda and patties all on the same day. The end result was totally worth it though 
. Each bite of the dish had sweetness, tanginess, spiciness and so on. The kids enjoyed it and we did too. The next time I would probably make the sev in advance. You can also simplify by using store bought sev and chutneys. Off to the recipe.
