Step 1
Boil potatoes until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk flour, cornstarch, and 1 tsp salt together. Mix in mashed potatoes until a stiff dough forms.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 325°F. Shape potato mixture into 2 oval balls and gently slide into hot oil.
Step 4
Fry 5–6 minutes until golden brown and a crust forms. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Char green chilies in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, turning often, until blistered, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Warm pav in a dry skillet 1 minute per side. Serve vada nestled in bread with chutney and charred chili on the side.
