Step 1
Boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Fold flour, ginger-garlic paste, and minced green chili into the mashed potatoes until combined.
Step 3
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (use a thermometer for accuracy).
Step 4
Shape potato mixture into 4 oval patties. Slide into hot oil and fry 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
Step 5
Drain vadas on paper towels. Arrange on a plate with green chutney, garlic chutney, fried green chilies, and sliced red onion alongside.
