Prep
Mash the boiled potato with salt. Finely chop the green chili and mince the garlic, mixing both into the potato until evenly combined.

Heat 120ml vegetable oil over medium heat and splutter the mustard seed and curry leaves for 40 seconds, then fold ground turmeric into the potato until fragrant and evenly yellow.
3
Whisk the chickpea gram flour with water and chili powder into a thick batter, shape potato into a ball, and coat it fully in batter.
4
Deep-fry the coated vada in medium-hot oil for 4 minutes until the batter turns crisp and deep golden brown, then drain well on paper towel.

Plate
Split the pav bun, spread tamarind paste inside, tuck in the fried vada and the whole fried green chili, then serve.
