Ragda patties is a definitive part of the street food culture of India, especially in the Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Ragda patties are made in two parts: the ragda and the patties. Ragda is a light stew made using rehydrated dried white peas and cooked with a variation of spices. The patties are basic cakes made out of mashed potatoes. Ragda patties are typically served in a bowl, two at a time, and covered in ragda.
Health Benefits
You can’t make good ragda without using a lot of turmeric. This is a good thing because turmeric is one of the oldest medicinal spices in the world. Turmeric contains a bioactive compound known as curcumin, which has both natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial compounds. Inflammation is considered to be the cause of many different diseases, so it pays to invest in a food ingredient that counters inflammation. Turmeric also helps to protect your body from illness by increasing the body’s antioxidant capacity by a large margin.
