Method :
Prepare the Potato Patties (Batata Vada) :
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add garlic green chilli paste, curry leaves, and turmeric powder. Sauté for a minute.
Add mashed potatoes, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture comes together. Let it cool slightly.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round patties.
Prepare the Besan Batter:
In a bowl, mix besan with water and salt to form a smooth, thick batter (similar to pancake batter consistency).
Heat plenty of oil in a deep frying pan or kadai until hot.
Dip each patty in the besan batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully slide into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Prepare the Chutney:
In a grinder or food processor, add besan chura, Pav pieces, garlic cloves, red chilli powder, salt and
blend until everything is well combined and forms a coarse chutney.
Slit the Pav horizontally, without cutting all the way through.
Spread some chutney on the inner sides of the Pav.
Place a hot Batata Vada in the Pav and press lightly.
Serve hot with more chutney on the side.
