This is quite a discovery for me... I have never tried this?? Is this a Maharashtrian recipe? It sounds really appetizing though the pic up there is a bit fuzzy :)

Hi Ketaki, This Ragda Patties Chowpatty style looks truly irresistible ! I knew of so many versions of this dish but did not like them much. This seems to have the correct blend of spices and seasonings. I think I'll add some crushed samosa and yogurt to the dish .
