Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 2 small Green chilies
• 1 inch Ginger
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 8 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 cups Oil for frying
• 6 pieces Pav buns (vegan)
• 6 tablespoons Coriander chutney
• 6 tablespoons Tamarind chutney
• 6 tablespoons Dry garlic chutney

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, peel them, and mash them in a bowl.

Step 2

Blend green chilies, ginger, and garlic into a coarse paste using a mortar and pestle or food processor.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle. Add curry leaves and the green chili-ginger-garlic paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add turmeric powder and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix well and season with 0.5 teaspoon salt. Cook for another 2 minutes and allow the mixture to cool.

Step 5

Shape the potato mixture into round, flattened patties about 2 inches in diameter. Set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix chickpea flour, red chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and baking soda. Gradually add water to make a smooth batter thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Dip each potato patty into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, and carefully fry until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

Step 8

Slice the vegan pav buns in half and toast lightly, if desired.

Step 9

Spread coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, and a generous sprinkle of dry garlic chutney on each bun.

Step 10

Place a fried potato patty between each bun and gently press them together.

Step 11

Serve hot with extra chutneys or fried green chilies on the side for an authentic experience.
