Step 1
Boil the 3 potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash coarsely.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp red chili powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Shape into 8 small patties.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk 1 cup chickpea flour with 1/2 tsp salt and enough water (about 1/2 cup) to make a thick, lumpy batter.
Step 4
Heat 2 cups oil in a deep pan over medium-high. Dip each patty in the batter, letting excess drip off.
Step 5
Fry the patties in batches without crowding, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Serve hot with green chutney, sliced red onion, and pickled green chilies on the side.
Step 7
Optional: sprinkle with chaat masala or extra red chili powder before serving.
