Notes:

• You can make the chutneys and garlic powder in advance. You can store the chutneys in air tight container in fridge for up to 5 days to a week.
• I used ready made bhajji batter and it worked well..
• The above quantities mentioned gives more of chutney than required so you can store them and use. But you get four potato stuffing . So you can increase the quantity of potatoes to make more.
• You can also use the chutneys as side dish when you eat the vada pav..
