Ragada Patties

Me and my sister used to wonder how to make this yummy street food while we were in school.
We went to the chat wala one day along with my brother and ordered a plate and observed him carefully while he was making it.Back at home both of us planned to cook this and when my mom was out to office, we made every thing and thought some thing was missing.We then took the tava and poured some ragada on it and started beating it like the chat wala , my ajji(mom's mother) who was having a siesta got up and to her surprise saw us in kitchen and by then made a big mess out there. :-) poor thing she had to clean up every thing, but all of us enjoyed the snack.
Our first experiment in kitchen came out well and from then i must say both me and my sis started experimenting with food regularly.
