RAGDA PATTIES

Ragda Patties is a very popular chaat item .Aloo Tikkis topped with spicy ragda and chutneys, onion and thin sev..  It is usually made with vatanas .. But some people also make it with chana (chick peas ) . I have made with chick peas since we don't get vatanas in Brazil.

Red chilli powder ... 1/4 tsp (or more if you like it spicy)
