2. To make Dry garlic chutney add little oil in pan and saute garlic,dry red chillies,white seasame,peanut,grated coconut separately and grind them well in a blender adding little tamarind and salt. Do not add water, its suppose to be dry and can be stored in fridge for 2 days.
3. Now to make vada batter, in a big bowl add besan flour,salt,chilly powder,turmeric powder,soda and mix it with water till the batter is little thick for coating.
4. Now make a ball shape out of the potato filling and dip in besan batter and deep fry them in oil till they turn golden brown. keep it in tissue to absorb oil. Now take the pav bread, spread dry garlic chutney on both side or you can spread sweet chutney one side too. I like my fav spicy and sweet. Then stuff the potato vada inside and take a deep bite and yummmm. It will taste so good and its definitely irresistible.
