Notes

• Adjust water quantity in ragda to get the right consistency.
• I used 1 teaspoon tamarind to extract tamarind juice.
• Cook potatoes carefully, if over cooked, it becomes very mushy when we make patty.
• Add bread crumbs generously too, to make it tasty and also it helps in binding the patty stiff.
