Instructions
  1. Combine the chilies, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, turmeric, and vegetable oil in a food processor or mortar and pestle and process into a fine paste. Set aside.
  2. Place the potatoes in a saucepan with the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the potatoes until they're soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Reserve the cooking water.
  4. Mash the potatoes while they're still warm, using some of the cooking water to get a smooth consistency.
  5. Mix in 1 tablespoon green chili paste, chickpea flour, 2½ teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and mustard oil. Add enough reserved potato-cooking water as needed to make a soft dough. Taste the dough for heat level and seasoning.
  6. Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  7. Use a potato ricer (or sev machine) to press noodles into the oil.
  8. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about two minutes.
  9. Use a skimmer or slotted spoon to transfer the noodles to a paper towel-lined bowl.
  10. Repeat until all noodles are fried.
  11. Store in an airtight container.
