Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 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)
  • Green chutney
  • Tamarind chutney
  • Garlic chutney

Steps:

  1. 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.
  2. Make the besan batter: In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, salt, and water to form a smooth, thick batter.
  3. Divide the potato mixture into equal-sized balls.
  4. 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.
  5. Split the pav buns halfway through and spread green, tamarind, and garlic chutney on each side. Place a fried potato ball between the buns.
