Step 1
Boil potatoes and peas together until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well and mash until almost smooth with a few chunky bits.
Step 2
Mix mashed potatoes with chickpea flour, minced green chili, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until a thick paste forms.
Step 3
Form mixture into 4 oval patties, each about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat oil in a heavy skillet or wok to 350°F (a test piece should sizzle immediately and turn golden in 2 minutes).
Step 5
Carefully slide 2 patties into hot oil and fry 3–4 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown all over. Transfer to paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties.
Step 6
Slice pav horizontally and spread tamarind paste on both sides, plus a small pinch of salt. Tuck one fritter into each bun and serve immediately.
