Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Ragda Patties
- For extra flavorful ragda, consider adding a bay leaf and a small cinnamon stick while simmering.
- If your potatoes are dry, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the patty mixture for extra moisture and softness.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. You can also add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) for a deeper flavor.
- For crispier patties, ensure they are not too thick. A slightly flattened patty will cook more evenly.
