Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil, plus more for frying
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- Water as needed for batter
- 4 pav buns (vegan)
Steps:
- Prepare the potato filling: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, and sauté for a minute. Mix in the mashed potatoes and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Make the besan batter: In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, salt, and water to form a smooth, thick batter.
- Divide the potato mixture into equal-sized balls.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Dip each potato ball into the besan batter, ensuring it’s well coated, and deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Split the pav buns halfway through and spread green, tamarind, and garlic chutney on each side. Place a fried potato ball between the buns.
