In a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the chiles, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon turmeric, and 2 teaspoons vegetable oil into a smooth paste. (If needed, add a tablespoon of water for easier blending.) Set aside.

Put the potatoes in a saucepan with the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to low, cover, and cook until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Save the cooking water.

Mash the potatoes while still warm, adding some of the cooking water to make them smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon green chile paste, chickpea flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and mustard oil. Add enough reserved potato-cooking water to form a soft dough. Taste the dough for heat and seasoning (it will taste raw but should be salty and spicy; the flavors will mellow slightly as it cooks). Add more salt and chile paste if you like.

Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Using a potato ricer (or a sev machine, if available), press noodles into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about two minutes. Lift the noodles out with a skimmer or slotted spoon and place them in a paper towel-lined bowl. Repeat until all the noodles are fried. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
